One thing I think we should change our healthcare as we need to make sure that every A doctor that you see when you need a health check in the state or every hospital has easy read and especially when procedures are talked about
The second time the second one is when I felt really respected is when I went to the doctors recently because we talked about getting me off medication that I’m on and I felt really listen to and about the changes that I wanted to make and I felt really welcome
The third one is when I originally got onto the medication. They weren’t willing to listen to some other preventative measures that could be taken before going onto the medication and I did feel a little bit powered because they said you know they didn’t say I felt like they were saying that they were the health professional and I didn’t know what I was talking about.
And just around what else we should do is I think we should have a national campaign around preventative healthcare for people with people with intellectual disabilities and we need to encourage training by people with intellectual disability to help professionals.
