Good Practice and Health Action Plans when working with people with learning difficulties 

This hilarious but thought provoking CD-Rom was produced using the experiences people with learning difficulties had of visiting their GP surgeries.  

This 15 minute comedy drama by Sunny Arts is now used by many organisations and Health Trusts across Britain. It was designed to be used by anyone working in health however many other groups have benefited from watching it including service user groups.
Not The Doctor's has been incredibly well received and provoked much discussion including:   

Communication and comprehension between the patient and all the staff at the surgery.  

• Prejudices and stereotyping. 
  
• The value of a Health Assessment and a Health Action Plan to the GP. 
  
• Perceptions and fears that a person with a learning difficulty may have when visiting the GP.  
• Resources available that may make a visit to the GP more successful.
• The accessibility of the building. 

It has been endorsed by Sue Carmichel at the Governments Valuing Support Team who said of 'Not The Doctor's: 

 "I laughed and you will too - but you'll also get the message"

 "I think its brilliant and we are going to use it as part of delivering the GP training"   

Simon Jones RNLD, Bristol Community Learning Disabilities Teams. 

"The film was recently viewed at a training session and we would like all our staff to watch it, it's a very good production"

Susan Doherty, The Woodland Practice.

 

"I need another copy, I've played it so many times I've worn it out!"

Jayne Davies, Hereford Adult Learning Disabilty Team.

Review of Jake's Justice in Community Care magazine

It is a challenging film, in that it forces us to think the unthinkable. Jake's Justice is hard hitting, powerful and moving. It illustrates some of the challenges for organisations working with vulnerable people in bringing perpetrators of adult abuse to justice. What comes over in Nicholas Wolfson's portrayal of Jake is a deep sense of injustice and the lasting impact that abuse has on him and his family. The DVD comes with a resource book that examines themes from the film and provides opportunities for discussion about how people with learning difficulties can develop skills and awareness of abuse to keep themselves safe. The film, along with the resource book will be an invaluable tool for training and raising awareness and sets the agenda for organisations and agencies to review their arrangements for safeguarding vulnerable people.
