Learning disabilities & the health service catalyst film

This film was developed for health services to as part of an experience-based co-design (EBCD) process. (EBCD is a patient-centred quality improvement process, and if you are planning to implement it in your organisation we recommend you use the online EBCD toolkit to guide you. The Point of Care Foundation is also developing a learning programme on EBCD supported by NHS England). We anticipate that it could also be used as part of an experience-led commissioning process.

If you plan to show the film, we suggest the person facilitating the session use the following introduction to set the scene.

This film combines three brief digital stories about health told by learning disabled people and extracts from an interview Nigel and Tracy Taylor conducted with Dominic Slowie, National Clinical Director of Learning Disability, NHS England. 

Obviously these are not people from your local area and everybody has a different experience. You may think some things in the film aren't relevant to local services or what has happened to you. But we hope that listening to them will help you think about your own memories and spark some ideas for what could be done differently here. 

This trigger film was made in collaboration with My Life My Choice, with funding from the NHS Health and Social Care Delivery Research (HSDR) Programme, as part of research project 10/1009/14.
