Going into hospital

You can get extra support while you are in hospital.

Learning disability nurses

These specialist nurses help adults with learning disabilities and autism, and their carers, to get the right care and feel safe and supported in hospital.

You can ask the hospital to put you in touch with their Learning Disability Nurse before your stay.

If you stay on an adult ward at Royal Berkshire Hospital, the Learning Disability Liaison Team will support you during your stay.

These passports are documents that can help you communicate your health needs and how best to support you.
