Integrated Care: Lessons from Evidence and Experience. Report of the 2008 Sir Roger Bannister Annual Health Seminar (21st November 2008)
With an aging population and an increasing prevalence of chronic disease, ever more people require care and support services from organisations that cross the boundaries of health, social care, housing and voluntary organisations. This paper, from The Nuffield Trust, summarises the discussions made by the main speakers at the seminar that was held on the subject of integrated care for people with chronic disease.
Report
Do you recognise pain in someone with a learning difficulty and dementia? (27th November 2008)
A set of resources (from Joseph Rowntree Foundation) to help care staff, GPs and carers to recognise and treat pain in people who have a learning difficulty and dementia. People with learning difficulties are living longer, which means they are more likely to develop the conditions of older age, such as dementia. Someone with a learning difficulty and dementia may not be able to communicate that they are in pain and it can be ignored or mistaken for challenging behaviour.

Seeing the person in the patient. The Point of Care Review Paper (December 2008)
The Point of Care programme has been set up to transform patients’ experience of care in hospital, and to enable health care staff to deliver high-quality care. Based on existing research and qualitative studies with patients and families, hospital staff and board members, this report looks at some of the problems that patients experience with their care and at the factors that shape that experience. Assessing the evidence to support various interventions, the King’s Fund suggest initiatives that have the potential to create sustainable change in patients’ care.
