The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training (OMMT) on Autism and Learning Disabilities was developed under the Health and Care Act 2022, which requires health professionals to undertake training relevant to their role[1]. A study at Aston University evaluated the first pilot implementation of Level 1 OMMT among Nursing, Biomedical Sciences, Optometry and Pharmacy students[8]. Research investigated changes in student understanding before and after training through online surveys and thematic analysis[8]. The results showed a significant improvement in students' confidence in verbal communication with autistic and learning disabled people (p < 0.0001) and better understanding of different types of learning disabilities (p < 0.0001)[8]. Students particularly valued learning from experts based on their own experiences and understood the importance of individualized care and appropriate adjustments[8]. The study concluded that the inclusion of such interdisciplinary training in university programs is essential to prepare future healthcare professionals to provide quality care to autistic and learning disabled people[8].
