The driving factor behind the programme was abuse and neglect experienced by people in long-stay settings, including those living at Winterbourne View, a private hospital near Bristol that was closed in 2011 after revelations that patients had been ill-treated. By March 2019, when the programme ended, the target to reduce inpatient bed capacity by 50% had not been met. This article discusses the author's experience as a dual-qualified social worker and mental health nurse employed by a Transforming Care Partnership. In this role, the author coordinated the discharge process for five people with learning disabilities and/or autism, often with co-morbid mental health issues, who had lived in hospital for 7-21 years. The complex multiagency work that enabled these successful discharges is explored and the article considers how this work can be built on in future to ensure more people with learning disabilities are able to live in their own homes. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: critical path Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
