Transforming identities through Transforming Care: How people with learning disabilities experience moving out of hospital

Abstract: Accessible Summary People with learning disabilities talked about what it was like to move out of hospital. People talked about how important their relationships with other people were. People wanted to feel comfortable with new members of staff so that they felt safe and happy in their new home. People talked about how moving out of hospital changed how they thought about themselves. When they were in hospital, people sometimes thought that they were “bad.” But after they moved, some people started to think … Show more

“…Sinclair (2018) proposed the idea of a bed reduction hiatus, in order for the community infrastructure to be established. Patient resistance to discharge as indicated by both participant groups has been evidenced in other research, namely that conducted by Head et al, (2018), which referenced a loss of attachments and limited connections to the community for people with an intellectual disability discharged from inpatient services. Consideration of the context to resistance to discharge is also required; referencing the views of the community and members of the public.…”

“…Together, we have the power to consider or to create, research and use this to help influence the political agenda, both now and in the future (e.g. Head, Ellis-Caird, Rhodes, & Parkinson, 2018;Saffer, Nolte, & Duffy, 2018). However, in order to reach the point of dropping our pebbles, we first need to be able to survive these imperfect systems.…”

“…However, with the development of individualised personalised support packages for people with learning disabilities, this has meant that their role has now changed (NHS England, ). Their jobs are much more challenging than when based in hospital settings (Hastings, ) and include offering meaningful integration into wider social networks; so as to build a sense of community belonging, day‐to‐day decision making and the ongoing assessment of a person's mental health (Head, Ellis‐Caird, Rhodes, & Parkinson, ). All of which has meant there has been an increase in responsibility and accountability, particularly in matters previously addressed by authority figures and management (Haines & Brown, ; Kroese, Rose, Heer, & O'Brien, ; Salmon, Holmes, & Dodd, ).…”

“…At the group, there is an expectation that support staff join in all the activities as active members, which means they also share information about themselves such as revealing their own past week's events. It is important that staff get to know and understand the people they are supporting by being with them (Ravoux et al, ), with benefits seen when support staff function as a peer group as much as a professional team (Head et al, ). This way of working is a mutual support approach; it “incorporates an understanding of the commonality of experience and circumstances that people with learning disabilities can develop when working together” (Hackett & Bourne, , p. 44) and offers a layering of support; a method where a nondisabled supporter enables people with learning disabilities to support one another (Keyes & Brandon, ).…”
