The conversation covers:
A 2020 Care Quality Commission (CQC) report highlighted the urgency for national system change, calling for improved community-based capacity and capability across education, health and care for people with a learning disability and/or autism.
In our roundtable, our expert speakers discuss why a community over hospital-based approach is vital for individuals with learning disabilities and/or autism. We will also discuss the opportunities for change needed for the NHS to achieve their extended transforming care target of 35% - 50% reduction in inpatients with learning disabilities and/or autism by 2023/24. The roundtable therefore provides you with:
- Key strategies to help reduce admissions and long-stays in hospitals, including implementing therapeutic (positive) risk-taking and Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) within a community setting.
- Real-life case studies of how a community setting positively impacts the lives of individuals with a learning disability and/or autism.
