Accessing menopause support for women with a learning disability
The North East & Cumbria Learning Disability Network is working with stakeholders across the North East North Cumbria Integrated Care System looking at how women with a learning disability can access reasonably adjusted care around assessment, treatment, and support for the perimenopause and menopause. People with a learning disability face greater health inequalities and poor experiences when accessing health and care services.
To support them in developing this work they are working with Sunderland University to conduct a service evaluation. They would like to hear from anybody working within a healthcare setting across North East North Cumbria who may have to assess, support, or treat women with a learning disability for perimenopause or menopause to gather your views.
This work will inform their improvement project moving forward.
The survey will close on the 31st August 2024.
You can support the work by completing a short 15-minute survey:
