It is a priority for government to improve access to health and care services for people with living disabilities and long-term conditions. Effective co-ordination of care across and within health and care services is seen to be one of the crucial factors in improving quality of life and health and wellbeing of people with learning disabilities.
The Institute of Public Care at Oxford Brookes University has been commissioned by the Department of Health and Social Care to explore best practice, identify barriers and enablers and how challenges can be overcome, to help to improve practice across the board.
