Inclusive wound care consultations with people living with a learning disability
Channel: Legs Matter
Date: 2023-11-01

Webinar from Legs Matter delivered in partnership with Flen Health

This webinar looked at how clinicians can be inclusive in lower limb wound care for all service users and explored the enablers of a meaningful consultation for those living with a learning disability, and how reasonable adjustments must be made to enable this group of patients to have full involvement in their wound care.

It also raised the alarm that health care providers must advocate for inclusivity and align themselves with the Global Patient Safety Action Plan, 2021-2030 and do more to explore the barriers of inclusive health and social care to prevent either direct or indirect harm.
