Support for People with Disabilities

The LPC has produced a number of guidance notes, systems, templates and resources to ensure that local contractors can make reasonable adjustments to their services to help people with disabilities.

• LPC Guidance on DMDS and the DDA
• Assessment for Adjustment of Services (double-sided A4)
• Assessment for Adjustment of Services (eForm) - Coming Soon
• Large Print Labels Template for patients with impaired vision
• DDA Funding Calculator
• Medication Reminder Chart for patient with impaired memory (landscape format)
• Medication Reminder Chart for patient with impaired memory (portrait format)
• MAR Sheet for carers of patients with impaired memory (Excel format)

The LPC has also been researching third party systems that might allow local contractors to make other reasonable adjustments.

• Patient Compliance Aids Summary Document
• RNIB Bump-Ons - stick on shapes
• RNIB TactiPen - 3D marker pen
• More alternative labelling methods
• Talking labels
• Electronic Medicines Compendium - X-PIL (Patient Information Leaflets for all)
