Improving care for people with learning disabilities: community provision, regulation and workforce development

February 2017


Price: £95 PLUS VAT
Format: DOWNLOADABLE PDF


With local Transforming Care Partnerships (TCPs) beginning their work, this timely seminar provided an opportunity to assess future policy priorities for people with learning disabilities across health and social care.


Delegates considered the implementation of NHS England’s Building the Right Support plan, with local plans proposed by TCPs - collaborations between Clinical Commissioning Groups, local authorities and specialised commissioners - due to be assessed against countrywide objectives, with the aim of, by 2019, reducing the reliance on inpatient care and establishing a national service delivery model for commissioners and providers.


Further sessions focused on the impact of population-based healthcare, via Sustainability and Transformation Plans (STPs), on care for people with learning disabilities, the impact of new inspection methodologies announced in the CQC’s five-year strategy on the regulation of care, and priorities for personalising care in light of the national rollout of the Integrated Personal Commissioning programme - as well as improving access to primary care for people with learning disabilities.
