Hospital Staff and Learning Disability Awareness Training - findings from two surveys

The National Development Team for Inclusion (NDTi) was commissioned in 2019 by the South Regional Health Education England Intellectual Disabilities programme to find and share best practice in training people who work in NHS Trusts to support people with learning disabilities. The aim is to support staff development to help them achieve better outcomes when they are working with people with learning disabilities. Further information about the project can be found here.

One aspect of NDTi’s work has been to conduct surveys with hospital staff in the South of England region to find out more about the content, format and experiences of learning disability training for the non-specialist workforce.
