Applications are open for the Certificate training course 'Meeting the Medical Needs of Adults with a Learning Disability'.

The course lasts for 15 months and results in a University Certificate granted by Edge Hill University. The course is run by the Royal College of Physicians and Edge Hill.

The aim of the course is to improve the medical care of the physical health of people with a learning disability. The course is aimed at hospital consultant physicians, senior medical trainees, GPs, particularly those with a learning disability leadership role, senior trainees in learning disability psychiatry and allied health professionals who have a role in the clinical care of medical problems for this patient group.

Funding is available for places starting in February 2024 for those working in England.
