Share our good health training

We found that many autistic people and people with learning disabilities don’t feel like they are listened to by their doctor and two thirds don’t get the reasonable adjustments they need. Thankfully GPs want better too; almost all of those we asked said they would like more training on these issues.

#MyGPandMe is making primary care fair by training and supporting healthcare staff to improve how they treat patients and create a more inclusive and accessible environment for autistic people and people with learning disabilities.

To tackle this serious gap in accessible treatment and preventative healthcare we have developed free training and resources, lobbied policymakers and trained GP surgery staff.

Our research reports, training and tool-kits were all developed with:

• Healthcare professionals
• Support teams and family carers
• Autistic people, disabled people and people with learning disabilities
• Learning disability and autism sector professionals

Write to your MP

You can also write to your MP to ask them to make sure healthcare for autistic people and people with learning disabilities is taken seriously in your constituency. They can push locally and centrally for changes that will benefit the million + people with a learning disability and/or autism in the UK.
