Petition Action

Mandatory Autism Module for all training health professionals.

Petition Details

Autism needs to be included as a mandatory module for any health professional in training. A full module which they are tested and marked on. Dclins/Nurses and doctors who do rotational training should also have it made mandatory to do a rotation working with Autism.

Additional Information

Developing the training will help Autists of the future to access Neurodivergent Affirmative treatment.

- autistic women are 13x more likely to die by suicide
- misrecognition leads to iatrogenic harm that produces distress further misdiagnosed.

We do need this now and there is a mandatory training in place however this needs to be be deepened and embedded in to the educational system.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is responsible for.

Decisions about training requirements for nurses and healthcare assistants are a matter for the relevant professional bodies, not the Government or House of Commons. As a result it is not possible for the Government or House of Commons to take the action you have requested.
