Two resources designed to support healthcare professionals and systems
Two new factsheets share five top tips for healthcare professional and guidance for Integrated Care Systems.
‘The role of healthcare professionals’, released last month , was based on findings from in-depth focus groups with disabled people and showed healthcare professionals are trusted messengers for disabled people to seek information and guidance on physical activity.
The findings showed that positive and collaborative change is possible and aligns well with current healthcare priorities. Off the back of the report Activity Alliance produced two resources designed to support healthcare professionals and systems.
One focusses on equipping health and care workers so they can give disabled children and adults the best information and accurately signpost to a wider choice of activities.
The second aims to assist Integrated Care Systems with their planning to ensure more disabled people are better supported into physical activity.
From knowing the right time to showing impairment or condition specific clinical knowledge the resource for healthcare professionals highlights five key things to consider. Whilst a checklist Checklist for Integrated Care Systems can be used to guide your planning to ensure more disabled people are better supported.
