The South West Learning Disabilities Collaborative (SW LDC) is running a webinar on improving bowel health for people with a learning disability
This session will focus on a person centred approach to bowel management such as abdominal massage. While there will be brief mention of medication, the overall aim is to shift the emphasis of treatment from a passive to pro-active approach encouraging monitoring and re-assessment of the abdomen and bowel habits. This will increase awareness across professional and care support networks, therefore, reducing potential risks associated with chronic constipation including impaction.
