Reducing health inequalities by providing accessible information resources is essential if we are to offer equitable care to people with learning disabilities. Donna Dawson discusses her role in the co-ordination and production of accessible information across Grampian. She explains the process involved in converting key health messages, developing a leaflet about going to the dentist and involving service users in product review and quality assurance.
