Nottinghamshire
WHERE?
NHS Nottinghamshire and Nottinghamshire County Council are working together.
NHS Nottinghamshire County also works closely with NHS Nottingham City to improve the health of people with learning disabilities, both through the joint Better Health group and undertaking pieces of work together, such as the Health Needs Assessment.
Nottinghamshire is home to 660,000 people. Roughly 15,600 are non-white.
We estimate there are 12,600 adults there with learning disabilities. 2,600 have severe learning disabilities and 200 have profound / multiple disabilities.
WHAT?
They plan to:
- Work with family doctors to get Annual Health Checks for all adults with learning disabilities. 61% had a health check in 2010/11. We are aiming to improve this for 2011/12
- Do a Health Equity Audit - check up whether people with learning disabilities get care from their family doctor the same as everyone else.
- Evaluate the Health Facilitator and Acute Liaison Nurse roles in Nottinghamshire, Bassetlaw and Nottingham City.
- Work with the Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS) and Complaints Managers across Nottinghamshire, Bassetlaw and Nottingham to make the complaints, compliments and patient feedback more accessible.
WHO?
Nick Romilly is leading the work. More about Nick.
Nottinghamshire and Nottingham City Learning disability Partnership Boards have a Better Health Group which will be involved. It has a list of things for better health for people with learning disability in Nottinghamshire and Nottingham.
