As national reports tell us, there are too many health inequalities in our society and people with a learning disability are still dying earlier than they should do. These are some of the things we’re doing to help change this…
We run the Easyhealth Website, where you can find easy to understand health information all in one place.
Having access to an online bank of health information in an easy read or a video format means that people who struggle with standard written information (including people with a learning disability) are much more likely to be able to understand their health and follow vital advice. The information can be used by people, carers or other professionals as a tool to talk, discuss and ask questions.
“The Easyhealth website has been widely promoted to all the GP practices in Wandsworth, where it is actively used by the doctors and health staff. GPs have found they can readily provide information to their patients during the consultation.”
– Tarlochan, Wandsworth CCG Health Facilitator
“Providing information in an accessible format is one of the easiest ‘reasonable adjustments’ a service can make. This can have the biggest impact on access to that service for people with a learning disability and their family carers. Just log on and download the relevant flyer – it’s that simple!”
– Stephan, Brusch Consulting Ltd
We have created strong working relationships with health professionals to improve the health and lives of people with a learning disability. We have worked with NHS England, Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) England, St. George’s University Hospital (NHS Foundation Trust) and Wandsworth Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG).
A key element of our consultancy work is co-delivery by people with a learning disability.
We can help you too.

“Many of the midwives had little or no prior knowledge of how best to help and approach people with learning disabilities, but Michelle’s teaching gave them an excellent insight into how to improve their practice. As a result, that client group has been getting better care.”
We create trainings on Learning Disabilities bespoke to your needs. Our trainings are powerful learning tools that touch people and stay with them.
Feedback highlights how powerful it is to have a trainer with a learning disability share their story. It brings our training alive and makes it real.
