A great day filming with @TheBakedBeanCompany creating our resources for people with a Learning Disability or Autistic people- focusing on increasing understanding and reducing anxiety about what to expect when being supported by the LAS.” #reducinghealthinequalities The Association of Ambulance Chief Executives

Update: Due to the success of London Ambulance Service's #Advanced #Paramedic Practitioner pilot, the role has been integrated into their operational model as business as usual. Now more patients are treated safely in the community, rather than transferred to #EDs. aace.org.uk/initiatives/ad…

Today we launch our “Ask the Question” campaign! This promotes asking patients if they have any support needs useful for us to know Eg a learning disability or being an autistic person. This enables staff to consider reasonable adjustments, reducing barriers to equal healthcare

Encouraging everyone where possible to advocate their own support needs or those of the person they support, is so helpful for us to make individualised reasonable adjustments National Autistic Society Mencap Richmond Mencap The Association of Ambulance Chief Executives

The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on Learning Disability and Autism has now been launched.

Last year #TeamLAS attended around 15,900 people with a Learning Disability or Autistic people to provide care. Our new accessible resources help people to know what to expect when we visit them, reducing anxiety and ensuring they get the care they need in a timely way 🔽

The UCP team + colleagues from our new use case groups including dementia, frailty, personalised care and learning disabilities and autism, have spent the morning brainstorming the new UCP template. Watch this space!

Happy Learning Disability Week!

Today we said goodbye to Jessica Howe Jess as she heads off on maternity leave and Hello to Isabel (izzy) who will be covering her role as Learning Disability & Vulnerabilities Specialist. Jess has achieved so much and I am sure Izzy will carry on Jess's great work. London Ambulance Service

Today I head off on maternity leave and so will not be monitoring this twitter account. Look out for Izzy who is taking over and will keep you updated on all the work going on at LAS to support people with a learning disability and autistic people. Exciting times ahead! 🙂

The #UCPexpanion means everyone can have one, holistic care plan that can provide personalised care rather than several care plans 🙌
