MindEd Stopping Over Medication of People with a Learning Disability and Autistic People
Programme information
- Title:
- MindEd Stopping Over Medication of People with a Learning Disability and Autistic People
- Description:
-
In 2015 NHS England started a campaign called Stopping Over Medication of People with a learning disability and autistic people (STOMP). It aims to challenge when medication use is thought to be inappropriate-when use of medication is incorrect. The campaign aims to help people with a learning disability, autism or both be cared for in the right way. The STOMP aims have become a commitment in the NHS Long Term Plan.
This new programme of online learning has been created by NHS Health Education England and MindEd in partnership with the NHS England STOMP team. Each session has been coproduced in a partnership of clinical experts and experts by experience.
STOMP promotes the idea that everyone works together for the person. This includes any family members, social care teams and all healthcare professionals who look after that person.
The sessions aim to provide a journey through STOMP and how to bring about these improvements in care that are at the heart of programme. In the first sessions we introduce and explain what inappropriate prescribing of medication is. We move on to describe the types of medications used and their correct and incorrect use. Next, we work through how to challenge inappropriate prescribing of medication and what alternatives to medication there are so that you can manage your health and stay well.
The sessions can be read by anybody. If you are a person with a learning disability, an autistic person, a family member, support worker or carer, someone with an interest in STOMP or a health professional, there is something for you. Each session will have an introduction which will tell you who this is aimed at. Some sessions, written for all, have downloadable easy read PDF versions.
