Our Vision
for the future

We want people with a learning disability to be valued in society and receive a fair and equitable service when receiving healthcare. We as a family have paid the ultimate price for the lack of training, ignorance and complacency towards our brother.

We want nurses, carers and learning disabled people and their families and carers to be familiar with the Care Bundle, health profile and logo. Our hope is that by using the health profile, receiving learning disability awareness training and ensuring the Care Bundle is adhered to that what happened to Paul does not happen to anyone else with learning disabilities.

Ultimately we want to EMPOWER people with knowledge and training to make a difference to the healthcare of people with learning disabilities
