A holistic approach to respiratory management in the community for people with PMLD

This webinar, hosted by the South West NHS England Learning Disability and Autism Programme, aims to explore a holistic approach to respiratory care, in the community, for people with PMLD. We will discuss the impact of personalised pharmacological decision making, good oral health, a multi-disciplinary approach to eating and drinking whilst also considering the importance of 24-hour postural management.

We have the pleasure of welcoming the following speakers:

• Lorraine Forrester - Dental Nurse and Oral Health Expert, Royal United Hospital
• Katie Heard - Consultant Pharmacist, University Hospitals Plymouth
• Jackie Hempkin - Lead Physiotherapist for Learning Disabilities, Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust
• Michael Walsh - Clinical Specialist Speech and Language Therapist, Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust

We welcome anybody with a passion for improving care for people with PMLD by supporting cultural change.

This webinar will continue to build on content covered in our previous event - ‘Exploring how we hear the voices of parent carers and people with PMLD at the end of their life and making difficult decisions'.
