Description
NHS England and NHS Improvement is looking for a Supplier to run a campaign to promote awareness of the risk that constipation can pose to people with a learning disability, and how
it may be prevented, recognised and treated.
This specification has been developed by the Learning The
development of the national constipation campaign that this specification describes is a
published action from the LeDeR programme, Action from Learning Report, published in
May 2019. In 2018, the LeDeR programme had been notified about the deaths of 12
people with a learning disability who died from issues around constipation. There have
since been further deaths. In 2020 55% of adults whose deaths were reviewed by LeDeR
had a diagnosis of constipation and 38% were prescribed laxatives, illustrating what an
extensive issue this is for people with a learning disability.
"Across the NHS, we will do more to ensure that all people with a learning disability,
autism, or both can live happier, healthier, longer lives. We will accelerate the LeDeR
initiative to identify common themes and learning points and provide targeted support to
local areas."
NHS England and Improvement, Long Term Plan, January 2019.
This is a public and staff campaign that will target people with a learning disability, family /
carers (paid/unpaid) and GP practice staff.
The objective of the campaign is to bring about a change in behaviour by providing the
target audiences with the information they need to prevent, recognise and treat
constipation. Success will be measured by a reduction in the number of people with a
learning disability living with and dying from constipation.
