Easy read guides to health choices and questions to ask
NHS Knowledge and Library Services have worked with people with lived experience to produce two, new, easy read guides for people with learning disabilities.
These easy read guides are designed to help people navigate healthcare information, they can help people get the treatment they want and the answers they need to understand information they are given. This could include information about medication, appointments, or treatment, and how it is provided, for example by letter or email.
