Learning Disabilities Death Review (LeDeR) Programme
Making care better for people with learning disabilities
Slide2We are a team based at the University of Bristol. We are working to make health and care services better for people with learning disabilities.
Reports show that people with learning disabilities sometimes die younger than other people.
We need to stop people with learning disabilities dying too soon.
NHS England has asked the
LeDeR
programme
to help local teams look at the deaths of all people with learning disabilities.
Why is the
LeDeR
programme important?
Slide3We take
notifications
of deaths.This means that someone lets us know when a person with learning disabilities has died.
We provide training to help people check up on the deaths of all people with learning disabilities.
We
look at some deaths in more detail.
These are deaths of
people from Black and Minority Ethnic groups.
young people aged 18 to 24 years.
We
look at
what works well and what does not work well.
What does the LeDeR programme do?
Slide4We
help
to make changes to health and care services. This is so that we can make them better for people with learning disabilities.
We
also do other
projects to help us know how many people with learning disabilities die every year and
why.
We include people with learning disabilities and their families in the work that we are doing.
