THE CARE ACT – THREAT OR OPPORTUNITY? By Kate Sheehan, Independent OT The Care Act is the biggest shake up in health and social care since its origins more than 60 years ago. By replacing numerous pieces of social care legislation, including the Chronically Sick and Disabled Person Act 1970, it is putting the client at the CENTRE of the assessment and provision process by considering their health and wellbeing as the guiding principal. So how does this impact on general practice, both within a health and a social care setting? Is it a potential threat to general practice or an opportunity to promote and reinvigorate the occupational therapy profession? The definition of a threat is anything external Kate Sheehan, Independent or internal, which can Occupational Therapist adversely affect your business (service). External threats could be new legislation, or a new competitor in our market. Internal threats could include staff shortages, resistance to change or lack of skills. An opportunity is external factors that a profession/ service can capitalise on or use to its advantage. This could be a huge opportunity for OTs to get back to core values. The new Care Act, really gives the profession an opportunity to market OTs, through the core foundation of the Act, ‘Well-being’. Well-being is at the heart of general practice and sometimes it is important to remind ourselves of the definition of OT. ‘Occupational therapy is a client-centred health profession concerned with promoting health and well-being through occupation. The primary goal of occupational therapy is to enable people to participate in the activities of everyday life. OTs achieve this outcome by working with people and communities to enhance their ability to engage in
The OT Show Education Partners
the occupations they want to, need to, or are expected to do, or by modifying the occupation or the environment to better support their occupational engagement’. (WFOT 2012) When you review the nine principals of well-being in the Act, the OT profession is already engaged in all nine and if these are used as part of your services’ strategic planning and cost benefits, you can clearly see the opportunities for occupational therapy.

1. Personal dignity OTs work holistically with clients to develop their individual goals, respecting their needs and in particular promoting dignity in all the occupations they are engaged with. 2. Physical, mental health and emotional well-being OTs are dual trained and can work with individuals who have both physical and mental health impairments. OTs are aware of the impact on the mental health of an individual with a specific medial diagnosis, but are also aware that as individuals age with mental health issues they may also have underlying physical problems. 3. Protection from abuse The Professional Code of Ethics (COT 2010) 2.2.3 states OTs must ‘protect and safeguard the interests of vulnerable people’ and must work within local or company’s guidance on reporting any acts of abuse or suspected abuse. 4. Control by the individual over day-to-day life The profession has always been client focused and looking to Continued on page 3

Self hoisting your way to independence Over recent years there has been a general reluctance for OTs to validate self hoisting as a safe option for many users, due to potential risks involving the use of slings. However with the right equipment and correct risk analysis, self hoisting has become more widely accepted by many OTs and other HCPs as a viable tool for independent living. One company leading the way in working with OTs and supplying the necessary equipment is Dolphin Mobility, making use of the Handimove Body Support System. “When speaking to clients, it is important to discuss all the equipment and hoisting options available as self hoisting may not be suitable for everybody. We are always on hand to discuss with the user and OT the ease with which self hoisting can be incorporated as part of a more independent lifestyle, even if it may be with the partial aid of a family member or carer. The latest technological advances mean there is usually a solution and it is our aim to ensure we leave every client with as high a level of independence and comfort as possible,” explained Craig Dunnage from Dolphin Mobility. Self hoisting not only increases a person’s level of independence, it also has the benefit of improving dignity and self esteem, and has the added benefit of potentially huge savings on the cost of care. The ability to safely self hoist can reduce the number of carers needed and time on site, even eliminate some visits completely. The capital cost of installation can often be covered in months or even weeks, by reduced care costs. Jason Miller from Cambridgeshire is a great example of someone who has benefitted from self hoisting. Following an accident on holiday that left him paralysed, Jason underwent months of rehabilitation and an essential part of this was daily hydrotherapy sessions which Jason would need to continue at home.
As Jason requires assistance with getting in and out of the pool, he had a HandiMove ceiling hoist installed featuring infra-red control and the unique body support system enables Jason to transfer safely and independently from his wheelchair to the pool. Handi-Move manufactures an extensive range of patient lifting products all of which are available in the UK from Dolphin Mobility. “The installation of the hoist has made a real difference to my day to day life as swimming and hydrotherapy sessions play a vital role in my ongoing treatment plan. From a personal point of view having the ability to hoist myself in and out of the water independently is just fantastic,” commented Jason. For more information call 01276 856060 or visit: www.dolphinlifts.co.uk
New guide on getting a powered wheelchair Rica, the national research charity - www.rica.org. uk- that works with older and disabled consumers has published a new guide called Getting a powered wheelchair: a guide to help you choose - available free in print and online at: www.rica. org.uk/content/getting-powered-wheelchair. The guide provides unbiased practical information about: • How to pay for a powered wheelchair including funding options • Getting assessed • Finding out about products in the market It also features real lives stories of powered wheelchair users including children, the types and features of powerchairs plus useful organisations that can provide further information and support. Written following a National survey of powered wheelchair users in 2014, the guide was developed to help disabled people and their families who often struggled to: • Locate relevant information about funding options • Make an informed choice about provision and • Get value for money when buying and maintaining their powered wheelchair The Powered wheelchair user survey report 2014 is available online at: www.rica.org.uk/content/powered-wheelchair-userresearch Between April and July 2014 Rica carried out a survey of 341 powered wheelchair users to identify views and experiences of choosing, funding and maintaining a powered wheelchair. In addition, 23 people who had been unable to secure funding for a powered wheelchair completed part of the survey. The guide and survey research was carried out by Rica in partnership with national charities: Disability Rights UK, Muscular Dystrophy UK, Scope, Spinal Injuries Association (SIA) and WhizzKidz.

Continued from page 1 give clients choice and control over their daily life and enable them to achieve what they prioritise. OTs may have to look at different ways of doing this in a ever changing care setting. 5. Participation in work, education, training and recreation Purpose occupation is at the heart of what OTs do, if an individual cannot engage with work (paid or not), education, training or social activities, OTs are acutely aware of the impact on their lives both socially and on their mental health. As a profession, OTs are adept at looking at opportunities and breaking down those opportunities into manageable chunks that clients can achieve to build their confidence. 6. Social and economic well-being OTs are acutely aware that to be able to engage in purposeful activity, access to appropriate resources are key. OTs can be excellent providers of information or sign posting to suitable services. 7. Domestic, family and personal well being OTs look holistically at an individuals life and work with them to develop priorities. OTs are aware that what is important to one person is not necessarily important to another. For example, a mum may want to clean a house but would also like to save her energy to play with her child; it can be argued that the clinical reasoning for supporting the input will enable this to be achieved.
8. Suitability of living accommodation Housing is at the centre of whether an individual can engage with their community, family or work. OTs have the skills to advise and develop appropriate housing for all client groups and have a huge evidence base within genHOME to support this. 9. The individual’s contribution to society As human beings, being part of society for most of us is important, it defines who we are. OTs can work with clients to understand how an individual can achieve this end. OTs need to hold on to the core values of Occupational Therapy, promote wellbeing and put occupation at the forefront of everything done in the profession. As purposeful activity has a real impact on the core principals, it’s crucial that OTs learn how to cost and evaluate the service provided, and more importantly, clinically reason interventions. Occupational therapists shouldn’t be scared of looking at using marketing as an activity to promote services and to use the key evidence available that clearly show services do work.
Remember, to be able to effectively market OT services. Keep up to date & engaged in new ways of working and be abreast of new innovative practices, so why not come to the Occupational Therapy Show for some amazing FREE CPD from some of the leaders in the profession. 1.

Making inclusive cycling accessible to all Ironically, specialist cycles which are designed to promote inclusion and mobility can be expensive and sadly, therefore, unaccessible to many children and families. This is because most manufacturers of tricycles and hand cycles are just small enterprises and produce in small quantities compared with the kinds of bikes you can find on the high street. On the other hand, large bicycle manufacturers are not interested in the relatively small numbers involved in adaptive bike production and sales. So how can families get assistance to obtain a specialist cycle when they can be so expensive and when cycling is one of those childhood defining activities for most children? Fortunately there is help at hand! Charitable organisations, such as Caudwell Children’s Charity, Action for Kids and Cerebra, are supporting the funding of cycling equipment for disabled children, such as tricycles and some tandem solutions. Further groups including Rotary and Lions Clubs, local radio or public houses are all extremely active in helping to make inclusive cycles accessible and available for individuals and families. Unfortunately, funding provision becomes slightly more difficult for disabled adults - and an issue common to all ages can be storage at home or issues with transporting these, often cumbersome, cycles to the parks and spaces where you can cycle safely and where standard bike racks will not do the job. For some families then, purchasing a cycle is not the imperative, but finding somewhere who hires out a usable, adaptive cycles is. That is why there are a growing number of local and regional opportunities, developed to enable individuals and families to go and ride a suitable bike in a club scenario or session. Drop-in sessions are being made available nationwide for those wishing to
explore the practicalities of cycling with their disability in a non-threatening way. Good examples are those run by Wheels for Wellbeing in and around London, and Wheels for all Centres (www. wheelsforwellbeing.org.uk, and www.cycling.org.uk). There are also a number of venues in the UK where you can access inclusive cycles in tourist destinations such as The Camel Trail in Cornwall or the New Forest. The profile of cycling for the disabled community is growing and opportunities are becoming more widespread as the whole cycling industry continues to grow and the health service looks for ways of reducing strain on resources through the promotion of healthy, active living. The great news is that there is a cycle for everyone out there! Whether you can pedal a little or not at all, fresh air and freedom is waiting for you! If you would like to find out more about your local cycling opportunities, charitable or other funding sources for purchasing a specialist cycle, please contact Quest 88 on 01743 790191 or email: cycling@quest88.com

Why person-centred support is revolutionising care in the UK By disabilityhorizons.com Using a person-centred approach to enhance the way mental healthcare is delivered to adults and children sounds like common sense but has actually only now been adopted as standard practice across the UK. Focusing on the current needs and aspirations of the service user, while utilising all of the available resources and leveraging the expertise of highly skilled people in a collaborative way, sounds like the only way care could ever effectively be provided. In reality this hasn’t always been the case and mental healthcare has traditionally been delivered in a very direct, rather than collaborative approach. As the Health Foundation puts it: ‘Often, healthcare does ‘to’ or ‘for’ people rather than ‘with’ them.’ Changing care model Person-centred support has completely changed the way mental healthcare is delivered across the UK. It places the needs of the individual at the core of their treatment and collaborates with family and friends, as well as numerous clinical disciplines, to achieve extremely positive outcomes. By April this year, every local authority was required to fully embrace the principles of person-centred support and a more Focusing on the current needs and aspirations of the service user, while utilising all of the available resources and leveraging the expertise of highly skilled people in a collaborative way, sounds like the only way care could ever

condition as part of their wider life, including aspirations and goals etc. Two of the main principles are shared decisionmaking and self-management support.
As the Health Foundation puts it: ‘Often, healthcare does ‘to’ or ‘for’ people rather than ‘with’ them.’
Shared decision-making Shared decision-making is a collaborative process where patients are supported by their healthcare professional to select how they may wish to proceed on particular subjects from a set number of choices. While their choices are within limitations, it is a middle ground and an advancement from where patients relied on their doctor or healthcare professional to make every decision about their care.
Changing care model Person-centred support has completely changed the way mental healthcare is delivered across the UK. It places the needs of the individual at the core of their treatment and collaborates with family and friends, as well as numerous clinical disciplines, to achieve extremely positive outcomes. By April this year, every local authority was required to fully embrace the principles of person-centred support and a more co-ordinated approach to mental healthcare. Person-centred planning really began to enter the healthcare sector in 2001 and was fully embraced in the wide-spanning Care Act 2014, perhaps the most significant change to way healthcare is delivered to adults in recent times. April 2015 In April, the new Care Act officially came into force and drives greater responsibility for care into the local authority and help ensure more people get the support they need far more effectively.

Self-management support Self-management support is the help given to people with long-term conditions to enable them to manage their health on a day-to-day basis. It means moving away from patients as passive recipients of care to a collaborative relationships where service users are active partners in their own healthcare plans. Service users are helped to develop their knowledge, skills and confidence to make informed decisions. It allows a person’s support plan to be tailored to their needs and has proven very effective at helping young people with autism spectrum condition in particular, as it allows those in specialist education to receive collaborative support delivered in a multidisciplinary way.
