The Dimensions My GP and Me campaign believes that by training doctors we can help stop people with learning disabilities dying too young.

Some people with learning disabilities die 29 years younger than people who do not have learning disabilities.

Sometimes they die from health problems that could have been fixed earlier.

We found that many people with learning disabilities and autism do not feel their doctor listens to them.

Some people do not feel they get the reasonable adjustments they need.

Reasonable adjustments are small changes that can help make a service more accessible for people.

We are happy that a lot of the doctors we asked agree that they need more training.
