Royal Cornwall Hospital LD Team Going to Hospital Guides
The Royal Cornwall Hospital Learning Disability Team have produced these guides for both adults and children believing that clear accessible information and good communication are key to reassuring people with a learning disability or autism when planning hospital visits. It is their hope that providing Going to Hospital as a free resource will open conversations and help to alleviate some anxieties associated with medical procedures.
