What is this service?
STOMP (Stopping Over-Medication of People with a Learning Disability and Autistic People) works with individuals with learning disabilities and/or autism who are prescribed psychotropic medication to review treatment and enhance quality of life.
The STOMP clinic helps ensure individuals receive the right medication at the right time for the appropriate duration through regular reviews and personalised treatment adjustments. It also focuses on improving quality of life and reducing health inequalities by addressing barriers to care, such as communication challenges and anxiety around clinical appointments.
The clinic uses a multidisciplinary approach, bringing together learning disability nurses, pharmacists, and behaviour practitioners who specialise in LDA care. The team works closely with GPs across Southeast London to identify eligible individuals and co-develop personalised medication reduction plans. The STOMP clinic takes a holistic and person-centred approach when assessing service users and planning interventions, ensuring reasonable adjustments are made to meet their needs appropriately. They work closely with the GP and other key stakeholders around the individual to ensure they are optimised in all parts of their life.
