About this course
This CPD module equips doctors, nurses, and healthcare professionals with essential knowledge to deliver safe, equitable care to autistic people and people with learning disabilities. Aligned with the Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training (Tier 1), the course covers definitions and prevalence, health inequalities and diagnostic overshadowing, the legal duty to make reasonable adjustments, and practical adaptations to communication, clinical environments, and procedures. Participants will learn to recognise potential indicators in undiagnosed patients, apply person-centred communication principles including the Accessible Information Standard, and understand the increased safeguarding risks facing these populations. A must for regulatory compliance and compassionate practice.
