Great quote!
22 May 2024
I love this quote in the report: ‘...when we talk about advance care planning there’s a concentration on how we are going to leave this world. Advance care planning to me is how we’re going to live in the world as well’.
Spot on! Reflects our approach in #myfuturecare project.

This is such an interesting thread that aligns with the work I am doing. See below 👇🏻 I have planned to read the full paper. Thank you @NuffieldTrust for this important work.

We make 5 policy recommendations:
1. Improve annual health checks
2. Campaigns to enhance awareness of the learning disability register
3. More NHS staff in care co-ordination roles
4. Training to ensure better reasonable adjustments
5. Tailored weight management programmes

🩺 Annual health checks can be improved for people with a learning disability, but only 1 in 4 people with a learning disability are on the GP learning disability register, so many people miss out on health checks

🔬 People with a learning disability are less likely to take part in cancer checks: over the last five years there’s been about a 36-percentage point gap in screening rates for cervical cancer, for example
