Get me to hospital: guidance for people and practitioners
At SCIE, we’ve been working in partnership with Partners in Care and Health and the Department of Health and Social Care to develop guidance for decision-makers, when a person is refusing hospital investigation and treatment, and is assessed by professionals as unable to make this decision, even with support.
We are co-producing this guidance with Inclusion North’s Stop People Dying Too Young Group and want to set up working groups across health and social care to help develop it, to include the following:
-
People who draw on care and their families.
-
Ambulance staff.
-
Care home, supported living staff and advocacy organisations.
-
Legal practitioners.
-
Local authority and health authority practitioners involved in care coordination, e.g. Social Workers, Occupational Therapists and Continuing Health Care Assessors.
-
GPs/Primary care health teams.
If you fall into any of these categories, and you might be available to attend up to two, two-hour online workshops between October and March, we’d very much like to hear from you. Please contact [email protected]
