We are pleased to announce the launch of the new ‘Standards of Practice for Physiotherapists working with Adults with a Learning Disability’.

The standards of practice were developed in response to evidence and feedback that highlighted wide variations in the provision of the specialist learning disability physiotherapy across the UK which has impacted on the management of the physiotherapy needs of people with a learning disability.
The standards aim to improve and standardise the delivery, development and commissioning of specialist physiotherapy to adults with a learning disability.
