Digitising Care: Personalised solutions for people with learning disabilities

How using digital tools and solutions affects personalised care for people with learning disabilities

OxFSN joined forces with Learning Disability England and Brighton and Hove Speak Up to help NHS England understand how using digital solutions (eg online meetings and appointments with medical professionals) will affect the care people with learning disabilities get. The Personalised Care Group at NHS England wanted to know how digital tools and solutions for personalised care can be inclusive and meet the accessibility requirements of people with learning disabilities.

At OxFSN we know as family carers that our family members whether children or adults need support – usually ours as parents – to get medical help.  Any changes in how that happened will affect our lives as family carers – for better or worse.

Three reports are available here:

1. OxFSN – with family carers views
2. Brighton and Hove Speak Up – with the views of people with learning disabilities
3. Learning Disability England’s final report which included everyone’s views and was presented to the Personalised Care Group
