Why become a Treat me well Champion?
1,200 people with a learning disability die avoidably every year. And people with a learning disability die younger than the rest of the population by 17 years on average.
This has to change, and better hospital care is a huge part of this. Sign up as a Treat me well Champion to play your part.
What will you do as a Treat me well Champion?
As a Treat me well Champion, you'll get tailored information, access to training opportunities and campaigning resources to help you bring about change in your own hospitals.
You'll have a chance to meet other hospital staff and people with a learning disability who want change locally and nationally.
What's the Treat me well campaign about?
We want hospital staff to understand the simple changes that make a big difference for people with a learning disability in hospital: more time, better communication and clearer information.
We're also calling on the Government to make training on learning disability mandatory for hospital workers.
