Stopping the Over-Medication of People with a Learning Disability and Autistic People


Health Education England, NHS England and NHS Improvement, experts by experience and MindEd have launched a collection of new co-produced [[https://www.minded.org.uk/Catalogue/Index?HierarchyId=0_55618_55619&programmeId=55618 online learning sessions]] to stop the over medication of people with learning disabilities and autistic people (STOMP).

The sessions, available for health and care professionals, carer and family members, explain the meaning of STOMP, discuss opportunities to speak up if they feel someone in their care is receiving inappropriate medication and highlight how they can access reliable information about medicines.

Each of the six sessions can be completed at the learner's own pace and takes approximately 30 minutes. For more information and to access the sessions, visit the [MindEd programme webpage].
