New guide to help young people with learning disabilities transition to adult healthcare

Mencap has partnered with Bradford People First to produce resources aimed to help young people with learning disabilities and their families, have a smoother transition from child to adult healthcare services. The guide, named ‘Hospital care for young people with a learning disability’ and video, has been created to support young people to feel confident to ask for things such as reasonable adjustments and meetings with health professionals. The guide and video can be downloaded from Mencap’s website.
