About the CPD course
Constipation is a common; life-threatening; yet preventable condition. Rates of constipation are higher in people with learning disability; and it is widely accepted that people with a learning disability are less likely to recognise and communicate the symptoms of constipation; therefore increasing the risk of serious consequences. ‘Constipation’ is the second module in the programme: ‘Physical Health Issues in People with Intellectual Disability and Mental Health or Behavioural Difficulties.’ It aims to educate professionals to understand the link between constipation and prescribed psychotropic medication. It particularly focuses clozapine-induced gastrointestinal hypomotility (CIGH) and the implications this has on patient safety.
At Learn It Online, we recognise the importance of continuing professional development (CPD) and the crucial role it plays in enhancing patient care. All too often, online education can be unengaging, irrelevant and too far removed from the lived experience of patients and those caring for them. Our holistic approach to both the course design, build and delivery draws on the vision and skills of a select, hand-picked team of experts from a variety of backgrounds. This approach enables us to create courses that are well-rounded, patient-centred whilst ultimately meeting the required learning outcomes.
