Info

• the strategy for carers including those supporting people with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD) has helped carers understand what services are available, but there are still carers who are unaware how to access support • particular thought needs to be given to how older carers are supported. What improvements do we plan to make over the next three years? • we will set up a Supporting Families sub group of the PIP implementation group to take the work forward • we will provide additional short breaks at the White Top Centre • we will develop an alternative resource for people with mild/moderate learning disabilities to provide breaks 52 weeks a year • we will develop an emergency service • we will develop eligibility criteria and an allocation system for short breaks • we will develop a commissioning strategy • we will improve information about short breaks • continue to ensure a high quality of service and promote equality of opportunity and diversity • we will look at ways to support people who are caring for someone who are hard to engage • we will review and develop the Local Area Coordination Service • we will implement caring at home and your plans for the future. PARTNERSHIP IN PRACTICE 2007-2010 19 6
7 7 Keeping Healthy The last PIP said: • people with a learning disability should be supported to be as healthy as possible and should be able to get services they need including specialist services, health promotion, primary care and dentistry. What have we done? • there is a specialist nurse in place to support you if you have to go to hospital • we are developing a joint team for community learning disability nurses, allied health professionals and social work staff • community learning disability nurses organise clinics, health groups, and support you if you have to go to your GP or other health appointments • people with learning disabilities are able to access health promotion resources and materials. What do you think about community health services? • within the community there appears to be effective co-working between community health staff and other agencies • various specialist resources, such as well woman clinics, dietetics and health checks, provide a good service to people with learning disabilities • positive comments were made about contact with some GPs and dentists, but there is scope for improvement in responses from others • there is a shortage of allied health professionals in the community, and some people are still falling through the net and don’t know about the specialist services available. 20 PARTNERSHIP IN PRACTICE 2007-2010
