CHANGE is a human rights organisation led by and for people with learning disabilities. They have been asked by the NHS to find out how best to create a membership organisation solely for people with learning disabilities.
CHANGE is inviting organisations that support people with learning disabilities to be a partner in the NHS membership project. They are exploring how a new membership organisation for people with learning disabilities could help with the issues they are facing. For example, do people with learning disabilities get the right support when they visit their doctor or the hospital? Or do people with learning disabilities get easy to read information about appointments, about medicines or about how to stay healthy?
By agreeing to be a partner organisation you will enable CHANGE to ask the people you support a series of questions about their health care – either in person with their project workers or through easy read surveys with your support.
CHANGE would like to know your views about the membership proposal and to hear from organisations about what works and what doesn’t work with membership approaches.
Please complete the survey by 7 June for a chance to win £40 Marks & Spencer vouchers and to confirm if your organisation would like to become a partner in the NHS membership project.
