Local Conference
LeDeR is the NHS programme where we learn from the lives and deaths of those with a Learning Disability and Autism.
The conference on Thursday 6 July 2023, 10am-4pm, will promote awareness and further support of the LeDeR programme across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent. To register for yourself, or someone else to attend, please see our registration form.
A summary of the day can be found below:
- The first half of the morning is aimed at professionals from Healthcare, Social Care and Education and will focus on what the LeDeR programme is, progress to date, learning from action and future priorities.
- From 11.40am onwards the conference is aimed at professionals (Health, Social Care and Education) and people living with a Learning Disability and/or Autism, parents, carers and families.
