The Learning Disabilities Managed Care Network provides learning opportunities, in different formats and on a variety of topics, related to the health and wellbeing of people with learning disabilities.
These events are open to health and social care staff as well as care providers and third sector organisations from Lothian, Forth Valley, Fife and Borders.
We provide learning and development opportunities, relevant to staff at all levels of practice, with the aim of sharing best practice to improve the health, wellbeing and the quality of life of people with learning disabilities.
Many of our learning events are facilitated by experienced clinicians, researchers and lecturers. We also work in partnership with other organisations with expertise in issues related to learning disabilities.
Please see below for our upcoming and past events, where you will find links to programmes and presentations, if available.
