Lots of good stuff in the #NHSLongTermPlan, especially if you're a student of the history of personalised care
Personalised care is up front, in chapter one: "People will get more control over their own health and more personalised care when they need it" #NHSLongTermPlan
Personal health budgets continue to be the significant, transformational change led by people themselves: we will go from over 32,000 now to 200,000 by 23/24 (para 1.41) #NHSLongTermPlan
Everyone will have thoughts about social prescribing: 900,000 people being referred by 23/24; 1,000 trained link workers will work with people to create tailored plans (para 1.40) #NHSLongTermPlan
But the less eye-catching, but overall more important paras, are: para 1.39: We will roll out the Comprehensive Model for Personalised Care across the country, reaching 2.5 million by 2023/24 and double that within a decade #NHSLongTermPlan
And para 1.42: basically ensuring personalised care underpins all end of life care #NHSLongTermPlan
And para 3.13: ensuring personalised care and support planning underpins all support for pregnant women #NHSLongTermPlan
And para 3.64: where appropriate, people diagnosed with cancer will have access to personalised care, in line with the Comprehensive Model for Personalised Care #NHSLongTermPlan
It was @SueBottCBE who said personalisation will be taken seriously when it becomes part of mainstream care. Well, it's in maternity, cancer and end of life, as well as many other areas. Let's get serious. #NHSLongTermPlan
