Quality standard which covers the planning and delivery of coordinated, person-centred social care and support for older people with multiple long-term conditions. This includes care for people living in their own homes, in specialist settings or in care homes. The standard consists of five quality statements which cover the assessment of social care needs, the coordination of care through named care coordinators, planning and reviewing health and social care plans, the integration of health and social care and the delivery care. For each quality statement the standard provides details of the rationale, quality measures that can be used to assess improvement, and equality and diversity considerations. It also outlines what each quality statement means in practice for service providers, social care practitioners, commissioners, home care service users and carers. The standard is expected to contribute to improvements in the following outcomes: social care and health-related quality of life, involvement in decision-making, safety of people using services, hospital and residential care admissions, older people being supported to live where they wish, and service user and carer satisfaction.

This report summarises discussions from a roundtable event attended by older people and carer representatives, practitioners, providers and commissioners to identify how the NICE guideline on supporting older people with multiple long-term conditions and their carers could best be used and implemented. It also sets out practical examples, actions and ideas to help improve local practice. Small groups discussed how the guideline can help achieve three priorities that the Guideline Committee identified as most important for potential impact and the likely significant challenges. These were: empowering older people and carers; empowering health and social care practitioners; and integration of different care and support options to enable person-centred care. Suggested actions and practice examples in each of the three priority areas. (Edited publisher abstract)

This draft guideline focuses on older people with multiple long-term conditions and their carers. It considers how person-centred social care and support for older people with multiple long-term conditions should be planned and delivered. It addresses how those responsible for commissioning, managing and providing care for people with multiple long-term conditions should work together to deliver safe, high-quality services that promote independence, choice and control. This guideline has been developed in the context of a complex and rapidly evolving landscape of guidance and legislation, most notably the Care Act. While the Care Act and other legislation describe what organisations must do, this guideline is focused on ‘what works’ in terms of how to fulfil those duties, and deliver support to older people with complex care needs and multiple long term conditions. The consultation closes on 13 July 2015. (Edited publisher abstract)
