Learning disability
Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (STH) is committed to ensuring that our services are fully accessible and that they meet the diverse needs of the people we serve. We also aim to positively promote inclusivity and ensure our treatment pathways are always personalised and meet individual patient needs.
This document sets out STH’s ambition and standards for compassionate, person centred care for people with a learning disability. Patients with a learning disability should be able to expect high quality and safe care when they use our services. The NHS Long Term Plan has pledged to improve services for people with a learning disability and reduce inequalities in care and outcomes for this group of people and we have aligned our plans locally.
