-

What is a syringe driver?

Your feelings after someone dies
We also have information for professionals:
- Supporting an adult with a learning disability when someone they know is dying or has died
- Palliative and end of life care for people with a learning disability
We worked closely with people with a learning disability, their family members, and professionals.
People told us they wanted a choice of formats, and that they often get information from, or use information with, family/carers/professionals. So, we’ve tried to meet these needs – but we know they won’t be right for everyone.
