We were delighted to be a co-applicant in the award-winning Victoria & Stuart Project, in putting together a vital toolkit, to encourage challenging conversations about advance care planning and planning for their health in the future. The toolkit was co-produced by various people who draw on our support at MacIntyre, support staff, managers and family members.
At MacIntyre, the Health Team believes that this toolkit is only going to encourage more conversations about health, promote the confidence of staff talking about these subjects which is ultimately going to improve outcomes and experiences for people who draw on our support.
Here is the Final report:
And here is our end-of-life care planning toolkit! The toolkit was created together with people with learning disabilities, families, learning disability support staff, and healthcare professionals. It includes resources and approaches to support staff with end-of-life care planning with people with learning disabilities.
