Learning Disabilities: ‘Valuing People Now’ – One Year On » Health » 24dash.com

Capita’s National Learning Disabilities Conference takes a holistic look at the progress made on Valuing People Now (VPN) since its implementation. Showcasing best practice initiatives on delivering improved services for people with learning disabilities, their families and carers.

With positive steps being taken on the VPN agenda it is essential to maintain momentum and avoid complacency. Recent findings from the Care Quality Commission on the inconsistencies of specialist in-patient care highlights the need for a concerted, cross-sector effort to improve outcomes for people with learning disabilities.

This timely conference will feature expert speakers and practical case studies to explore how services can be improved to support more independent lives, provide effective healthcare, increase employment opportunities and enhance equality and inclusion in the community.

Attend this conference to ensure you gain the necessary tools to improve the care for people with learning disabilities in your area, and positively impact on their quality of life.
