Learning disability nurses in the Community Assessment and Treatment Service with the Hertfordshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust have been working in partnership with service users to make care plans more personalised and meaningful. The accessible care planning project redesigns care plan's so they are original and based on an individual's likes, interests and strengths. The project has has resulted in care plans being designed in a number of different formats, for example in the style of newspapers, comic books and on an interactive touchscreen computer. The development of the care plans has also increased the participation of service users working with professionals and the team has also experienced improved completions and achievements within the care plans. The project has been recognised nationally and was shortlisted for the Learning Disabilities Nursing category at the Nursing Times awards 2012. (Original abstract)

The Elfrida Society is pioneering a new approach to peer-based planning for people with learning disabilities in their Freedom and Friendship project. The project uses party planning as a way of helping small groups of people with learning disabilities to use their own resources, help each other and speak up for what the need. Once at the party everyone gets to say what they like about the person and to say one thing that will help make the world a better place.

It also provides space to record findings and to record what you think if the person’s quality of care overall for each KLOE. The KLOEs, are: Does the person need to be in hospital?; Is the person receiving the right care and treatment?; Is the person involved in their care and treatment?; Are the person’s health needs known and met?; Is the use of any medicine appropriate and safe?; Is there a clear, safe and proportionate approach to the way risk is assessed or managed?; Is there active planning for the future and for discharge?; and Are family and carers being listened to and involved? It will also help with deciding what goes into the CTR report. It is one of a series of 6 workbooks, which each cover different types of CTR and Care, Education and Treatment Review panels.

The cost of secure care has been increasing over the past few years. Despite the increased spending on secure services, there continues to be difficulties relating to patient progression through the care pathway to safe integration in the community. The Shared Pathway project was developed by the North of England Specialist Commissioning Group, Yorkshire and Humber Office in partnership with service users, clinicians and commissioners. The aims of the Shared Pathway are to: reduce costs within secure services without reducing quality; meet individual need; and demonstrate efficiency. The purpose of this paper is to describe the experience of a secure learning disability service in participating in the national Shared Pathway pilot project in secure services. It explores some background drivers to the project as well as the experience of service users and staff. Recommendations on service-wide implementation of the Shared Pathway are made. The findings show that the implementation of the Shared Pathway will lead to considerable changes in practice. It may be useful in ensuring evidence based outcomes are routinely used by clinicians in secure services in collaboration with patients. It may also clarify to patients what their role is in engaging in treatment that helps them in moving through secure services.

The personalisation agenda is relatively new in healthcare. This article describes a programme of personal health budgets being piloted across about half of the 152 primary care trusts (PCTs) in England running until 2012. The pilot is being independently evaluated, with more than 2,000 people recruited into the evaluation. The aim is to explore how best to implement personal health budgets and who will benefit most. Personal health budgets allow people to make decisions about how money for their healthcare should be spent. There are very few restrictions on what the money can be spent on. An individual with a personal health budget will develop a care plan together with their health professional or care coordinator, and agree it with their PCT. By selecting services that meet their needs in a way that works best for them, people in the pilot can have more choice and control over the healthcare and support they receive. Personal budgets will allow greater integration of health and social care, with many people receiving a joint single budget bringing together both funding streams. The advantages of personal health budgets for people with learning disabilities are considered.
