- Title:
- Stopping over medication of people with a learning disability and autistic people
- Description:
-
The sessions aim to provide a journey through STopping Over Medication of People with a learning disability and autistic people (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.
