 Chat Details

 

Hosted by WeLDnurses using #WeLDNs

This weeks pre-chat is a little different... It's a blog. First published on the learning disability elf blog site in response to the CIPOLD one year on response.

 We will be joined by @learningdiself @ld_CI and @mhoghton

Here's the blog as originally posted: 

The Confidential Inquiry into Premature Deaths of People with Learning Disabilities ( CIPOLD ) was published in March 2013. It reported that people with learning disabilities die, on average 16 years sooner than people in the general population, and that three times as many people with learning disabilities had deaths that could have been avoided through the provision of good quality healthcare, when compared with the general population.

Subsequent to the CIPOLD report, the Department of Health in England committed itself to publishing an update on actions that are being taken to embed the CIPOLD recommendations. The (much delayed) progress report has now been published. So what does it say? Can we be assured that premature deaths of people with learning disabilities are being addressed in a determined way, and that such deaths are well on the way to being consigned to past history? And can we be confident that responsibilities are being faced at local, regional and national levels to prevent further premature deaths of people with learning disabilities?

The progress report starts with a Foreword from Norman Lamb, Minister for Care and Support that urges us to ‘step up the pace' and make a ‘concerted national effort' for people with learning disabilities to achieve more equal access and outcomes (note that the wording is in relation to more equal access and outcomes, not equal access and outcomes). It concludes that ‘much more still needs to be done' . Oh dear! 

One's expectations at this point are immediately lowered to the point that anything positive in the report that follows will be considered a major achievement.

Eight overarching themes

The progress report itself is thematically structured. It does not identify each of the CIPOLD recommendations; rather it has grouped them together into eight overarching themes:

 

Identifying people with learning disabilities and their need for reasonable adjustments

The particular patterns of ill-health of people with learning disabilities

The fragmentation of the healthcare provided to people with learning disabilities

Deaths amenable to healthcare interventions

Adherence to legislation and guidance

The imperative to forward plan

End of life care

Reviewing deaths of people with learning disabilities in the future

 

For each of the themes, action at national, and in some cases local, level is described that outlines progress in that area. 

 

Some progress made but...

Overall, while it is clear that some progress has been made, there is so much in the report that fails to address, or is tangential to, the issues at heart, that it is disappointing reading. Let us illustrate this with four examples:

 

1. Identifying People with Learning Disabilities

The Progress Update report states that identifying people with learning disabilities in primary care has been addressed by expanding the General Practice register of people with learning disabilities to be an all age register. So far so good.

However, there is no mention of how this information is to be shared with, or ‘flagged' by, secondary care providers (e.g. hospitals) and the guidance that hospitals could expect to receive in relation to this.

 

2. Patterns of Ill Health in People with Learning Disabilities

In relation to the particular pattern of ill-health of people with learning disabilities, it is acknowledged in the Progress Update report that the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) is currently working on three guidelines which relate to improving the health and care of people with learning disabilities (challenging behaviour, mental health problems, and care and support of older people with learning disabilities).

However, what is not said is that the recent consultation about the draft scope of NICE guidelines on multi-morbidity specifically excludes conditions associated with learning disabilities; despite this being a clear recommendation of CIPOLD.

 

3. Fragmentation of Healthcare

In relation to the fragmentation of healthcare provided to people with learning disabilities, the Progress Update report lays store on the Transforming Primary Care programme which will be provided for 2% of adults on GP registers with the most complex needs.

However, this is unlikely to be applicable to people with mild, moderate or even severe learning disabilities with multi-morbidity whose support staff (if they receive care or support at all) are ill-equipped to effectively help them coordinate, manage and proactively address their health needs.

Further, whilst much is made of the new Education, Health and Care Plans for children and young people, the report fails to address the recommendation for such co-ordinated care for adults with learning disabilities. In addition, as we move towards the integration of health and social care, the premature deaths of people with learning disabilities is not included as a driver for this change.

 

4. Mental Capacity Act

One might consider that adherence to the law is sacrosanct; it is a responsibility of all of us to do so.

However, the language used in the Progress Update report with regards to adherence to the Mental Capacity Act 2005 (MCA) is worrying at best and woolly at worst. It describes the use of commissioning as a tool for ‘encouraging' implementation of the MCA, and about the need to understand how it can have ‘greater impact'. It suggests that there ‘should' be staff trained in the MCA available 24 hours a day, although evidence from both CIPOLD and the House of Lords Select Committee is unequivocal that many staff are not sufficiently expert in understanding how the MCA relates to their own practice, and family carers are unsure of their role when key decisions are being made in relation to their relative.

Now is the time to tighten up compliance with the MCA, which involves much more robust measures for policing and enforcement, in conjunction with training initiatives, but sadly, the Progress Update report omits any mention of this.

 

Is it all bad news?

It might seem churlish to focus on the negatives of the Progress Update report; after all, there is progress being made that will hopefully contribute to making a difference to the lives of people with learning disabilities and, to a lesser extent their carers. Indeed it is of note that carers are almost absent from any mention in the Progress Update report, despite the fact that the campaigns which resulted in CIPOLD were largely borne of the evidence and insights of relatives, and that the experience of family members was so crucial to the findings of CIPOLD.

Our key point is this: 

The current progress outlined in the Progress Update report is likely to make a difference to the lives of people

But when we review completed actions (as opposed to ongoing actions or commitments), there is little evidence of progress that will prevent premature death 

 

It seems incredible that at this point in time, 18 months on from the completion of the CIPOLD report, and despite it being a placeholder indicator in the NHS Outcomes Framework, we still have no routine collection or linkage of national data that can tell us the age and cause of death of people with learning disabilities against which we can measure the extent of premature death and its change over time . What does that tell us about any commitment to addressing premature deaths of people with learning disabilities in a determined way, and consigning such deaths to past history?

Quite frankly it suggests that not only, in Norman Lamb's words, does much more need to be done, it also suggests that unless each of us raises our voices, agitates, demands and complains, nothing much more will happen within this government to actually reduce premature deaths in people with learning disabilities. 

 

It also tells us that there remains a significant time and cultural lag in producing effective change in addressing the gap in life expectations for people with learning disabilities and their families. In the USA, it took the direct intervention of President Kennedy in the 1960's to set up a Presidents' Commission to reverse the increasing institutionalisation of people with learning disabilities. It is now time for the Prime Minister and other senior politicians to get involved and provide strong leadership for the whole health and care sector in reducing premature deaths of people with learning disabilities and creating a climate for real change and improvement in outcomes for people with learning disabilities and their families.

 Chat Summary

 

On Wednesday 30th October, we were privileged to join a tweet chat hosted by #weldns. Also joining the chat were Matt Hoghton and Pauline Heslop, two of the authors of the Confidential Inquiry into premature deaths of people with learning disabilities.

The chat began by reflecting on some of the key findings of the report, for example that Women with learning disabilities died on average 20 years earlier than women in the general population and that men with learning disabilities died on average 13 years earlier than men in the general population. 

Matt Hoghton pointed out that it is still unclear why women died younger than men - the reverse of what is found in the general population. 

There was a good deal of shock and anger expressed at the findings, in particular ‘avoidable’ causes of death and concern that people were not getting access to appropriate supports. 

Some people were interested to know if the deaths identified in the Inquiry were across all settings and it is clear that they are – from a range of settings and range of severity of learning disabilities.


Matt also pointed out that other research has shown that young women in urban environments are especially vulnerable 


Reasonable Adjustments

One of the key themes that emerged was the need for reasonable adjustments – WeLD Nurses posed the question – “We know at this point that reasonable adjustments have to be made. How to we drive this forward? What is our role?” 


Some of the responses included


• To help identify what reasonable adjustments are needed and to offer support to ensure these are made 

• To help to ensure when they are made they are embedded in everyday practice

• To challenge organisations when the only response to the need to make adjustments is to offer the provision of ‘accessible information’ 

• To ensure that whilst reasonable adjustments are individual to each person, information about them should be recorded shared

• To act as mentors, striving for excellence and ensuring that students understand parents are experts in their children

• To insist on the provision of reasonable adjustments, to understand th Mental Capacity Act. Speak up...loudly. Be proactive. AND Look after yourself too


The Improving Health and Lives team have a Reasonable adjustments database on their website which can be found at: http://www.improvinghealthandlives.org.uk/adjustments/ 


LDCI pointed out that from next year services will be required to audit the provision of reasonable adjustments, but it was interesting that few people were aware that this was going to happen. You can get more details here 


Access to diagnostic investigations


LDCI pointed out that the “most common reported problem when people with learning disabilities were unwell was that investigations were not done or posed difficulties” as it was sometimes difficult for some PWLD to access diagnostics in acute services 


Ross6479 asked whether more routine tests/screening could be completed by LDNs to avoid referrals and waiting time and there was some agreement with this view.



Coordination across agencies


One concern raised was a lack of coordination across agencies involved. Salsa442 said “Research has shown the more agencies involved the greater the risks, that's why communication is so important.”


Parents and Carers


A concerning findings of the inquiry was that parents and carers were often not listened to, which flies in the face of everything we know about good partnership working.


Some thoughts on this were: 

• One family member said they thought that many people with learning disabilities “often don't have what I call 'body-mind-maintenance competencies' 

• One person suggested the provision of Acute liaison nurses in every hospital to bridge the gap between acute staff and carers

• advocacy was identified as key as carers/ family members often notice subtle changes in the person that are missed by professionals


The Inquiry team found that people who were without close friends/support were more likely to die from cause of death amenable to good health care, so this raised concerns about how we should take account of and respond to this additional vulnerability. 


One person pointed us to a resource on the patient experience website where a woman with learning disabilities talk about her treatment and the help she got from the Community nursing team for her bowel cancer diagnosis 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yal0amH8bzo&sns=tw 


Named healthcare Coordinators


One of the recommendations of the report was that named healthcare coordinators should be allocated to people with complex or multiple health needs. This was roundly supported by contributors, but it was pointed out that the coordinators must be identified by the person or carers and not arbitrarily assigned. The professional role of the coordinator was also discussed, but the prevailing view was that this might be different for each person supported, depending on their needs and circumstances.


@care2twit pointed out that 2As a carer I think having a Named Professional and also ensuring Annual Health Checks is a good start.”



Mental Capacity Act


There was a good deal of concern expressed by many people about a continuing lack of understanding of the mental capacity act in healthcare settings. There was a good deal of support for Mental Capacity Act training and updates to be mandatory for health and social care staff, with active follow up on the ground. Many of the contributors talked about their key role in providing training, but also modelling behaviour. 



Better Information


Matt Hoghton suggested that there was a need to 2link GP registers with mortality data so we know age and cause of death of people with ld nationally” The Inquiry team had recommended the establishment of a National Learning Disability Mortality Review Body 


Examples of good practice

In addition to the RA database on the IHAL site, Norah Fey research centre also has examples of actions being taken locally and regionally which can be found at: http://www.bristol.ac.uk/cipold/conferencepresentations 


What will you change in your practice?


Finally, contributors were asked what they could do to change their practice and improve outcomes for people. Here are a few of the suggestions:

 

• LDCI pointed out that the “recommendations of the Confidential Inquiry are for everyone to reflect and take action not just for Govt or NHS England.”


• Need to focus more on follow-up of MCA training 

• Check up on response locally to the requirement for providers to undertake an annual audit of RAs which is in the NHS Standard Contract for 2014/15. 

• Ensuring my practice is proactive not reactive 

• Be sure to improve MCA awareness and RA where I am 

• As a student I talk to my IPL groups about LD nursing and related topics regularly to raise profile 

• Carer involvement useful here for extra training about LD understanding not so 

• Getting communications team locally to send out recommendations from the Inquiry report recommendations to all departments in the trust 

• Work with my Acute Liaison Nurse colleagues to review our strategy for PWLD. Voice of the individual at the front, Carer expertise included 


• LDCI pointed out that four new questions are to be trialled at CQC inspections of acute hospitals, specifically about care of people with learning disabilities. 


Finally Matt, pointed out in a very philosophical tweet “No person can change the world but we can change the world for one person”, which was a great way to draw the conversation to a close.
