Enhancing service users’ capacity and capability
This article describes the implementation of an eight-week programme to teach research skills to people with learning disabilities. After a focus group was held to explain the purposes of the programme, and refine ideas and methods of teaching, eight people with learning disabilities took part in weekly training sessions delivered by staff from a university and an NHS trust. The sessions were positively evaluated by participants, some of whom have gone on to form their own research interest and advisory group.
