SUMMARY:Webinar: Annual Health Checks for People with a Learning Disability
DESCRIPTION:Join the Race Equality Foundation and Learning Disability England online on Tuesday 23 July 2024 as we release a co-produced video on Annual Health Checks (AHCs) for people with a learning disability from Black\, Asian and minoritised ethnic communities. \nDate: Tuesday 23 July\, 2024 \nTime: 14:00-15:30 \nPeople with a learning disability from Black\, Asian and minoritised ethnic backgrounds experience significant inequalities in relation to health outcomes. The 2023 We Deserve Better: Ethnic minorities with a learning disability and access to healthcare report\, a collaborative project with Race Equality Foundation\, Learning Disability England and led by University of Central Lancashire\, found shocking disparities in life expectancies for people with a learning disability from Black\, Asian\, and minoritised ethnic backgrounds\, with the average age of death at 34 years. For White counterparts\, the life expectancy is 62 years of age. \nBuilding upon this research\, the Race Equality Foundation and Learning Disability England have been working with people with lived experience from Black\, Asian and minoritised ethnic communities to raise awareness of and improve the uptake of annual health checks. Annual health checks are an NHS preventative intervention designed to help detect and address health conditions\, with the aim of reducing the number of early and avoidable deaths for people with a learning disability. \nThis webinar marks the launch of a set of culturally appropriate resources developed during this project. \nDuring the webinar you will: \n\nLearn about the importance of an annual health check and what to expect.\nGain valuable insights from people with lived experiences who have actively contributed to the project.\nExplore the cultural relevance and accessibility of the promotional materials developed.\nRaise awareness and increase uptake of an annual health check for people with a learning disability from Black\, Asian and minoritised ethnic communities.\n\nThis webinar will be of value to those with lived experience\, carers and support networks\, advocates for health equity\, those working in the policy and health sectors\, and other voluntary sector and community organisations. \nSpeakers: \n\nHabib Naqvi\, Director of the NHS Race and Health Observatory\nNicola Easy\, Deputy Director of Health Improvement Learning Disability & Autism\nRamandeep Kaur\, parent/carer and member of the co-production group\nNicholas Garvey\, member of the co-production group\nJahan Foster Zabit\, Senior Researcher\, Race Equality Foundation\nSamantha Clark\, Chief Executive Learning Disability England\n\nChaired by Jabeer Butt\, Chief Executive\, Race Equality Foundation \nSign up here.
