Following the Challenging Behaviour Foundation’s presentations at the 2024 Community Conference we are pleased to share this opportunity to hear their key findings from their What Matters to Me Project.

 

This initiative involved engaging with young people with severe or profound and multiple learning disabilities to influence policy and shape support and services.

The event will be an interactive session, sharing the project multi-media manifesto including a practical toolkit, giving attendees a chance to reflect on their own organisations practice, hearing from those involved in What Matters to Me and bringing together other good practice examples.

Places are limited, so book your free ticket here:

Danielle Adams – Pharmacist and PhD Student at the University of Warwick is undertaking a Delphi study in deprescribing psychotropic medications in people with learning disabilities and is keen to recruit some learning disabilities nurses with an interest in the subject to participate. 

This will involve completing a questionnaire – taking approximately 20 minutes and helping to prioritise the themes until a consensus is found. It is envisaged that this activity will be complete by the end of November 2024.
