This is a new guideline from Nice on managing challenging behaviour in people with learning disabilities. Most of it is fairy obvious. I’ve highlighted a few points.
Behaviours may be to communicate, to provide sensory stimulation, to avoid demands or to attract attention.
Consider the patient’s environment, relationships and medications among other things. Look for any recent changes in these.
"A must-have for any GP locum.
I have used NASGP website since I started locuming three years ago. It caters for all my locum needs, and I found LocumDeck particularly useful for bookings and invoicing. The automatically-generated invoices and pension forms save me countless hours of admin time every month, and the recently introduced e-signed forms are brilliant.
The assistance I have received has always been quick and helpful. The forums and updates have also kept me in the loop with important issues which may affect my practice.
I cannot recommend this website enough. "
