Our Learning Disability and Autism Strategic plan (LINK to plan) sets out ambitious goals for 2024 to 2028 which are focused on transformation of the delivery of care and treatment with the aim of reducing health inequalities, improving access and health outcomes.

This is our first, Learning Disability and Autism Strategic Plan, co-written and co-developed with people with a learning disability, autistic people and carers. The plan focuses on the transformation of the delivery of care and treatment with the aim of reducing health inequalities, improving access and health outcomes taking a whole person approach.  The main transformation priorities are improving support in the community, reducing avoidable admissions, and enhancing access to all services through reasonable adjustments, training, technology, and by working together. 

  • Our co developed and co-written strategic plan was launched successfully at the Clinical Senate
  • 11 priority areas to be driven forward to ensure inequalities are minimised, improved access, enhanced focus on whole person care and patient experience and a well-trained workforce
  • Measures of success have been identified and governance in place to drive forward the changes
  • Established programme structure including Strategic Oversight Group and five task and finish groups - Quality Standards, Inpatient Service Transformation, Learning Disability Services, Neurodevelopmental Pathway and Safeguarding
  • Alignment of each of the five group work plans (work packages) with the Learning Disability Strategic Plan.
