Dundee Health & Social Care Partnership are delighted to announce their 2025 nutrition training package for paid carers of adults with a Learning Disability (LD), including a dedicated session for senior staff and managers of LD services.
Individuals with a LD are at greater risk of being underweight and obese. In addition, the life expectancy of women with an LD is 27 years shorter, and for men 22 years shorter than the general population. (BDA, 2020).
It is essential that carers have an understanding of evidenced based nutrition, and provide support and guidance when appropriate to do so. Our training will provide participants with the skills, knowledge and resources needed to do so.
