People with a learning disability have poorer health and experience greater and persistent inequalities in health. So how can we shift the dial? In this episode, Dr Jane Padmore, chief executive of Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, explores how reimagining the workforce, making better use of the voluntary sector and deepening understandings of learning disability, autism and neurodiversity can go some way. Jane, who is also chair of the Mental Health Network’s Learning Disability Forum, shares how a life-changing summer placement ignited a life-long passion that has shaped her career.
