  1. How to Achieve Best Practicefor People with a Dual Diagnosisof Learning Disabilities and Schizophrenia By Jemma Pogson University of York Twitter: @jemmapogsonEmail: jp756@york.ac.ukjemma.pogson@ active999.com

  2. Best Practice • Evidence based (RCN, 2012). • The best available research evidence, delivered in a feasible way to the organizational and person-centered context (NICE, 2013). • Best Practice can easily be sought from numerous resources such as; NICE guidelines, NMC, National Libraries of Health, NHS Evidence, etc. (Nursing Times, 2010). • Person-centered

  3. Learning disability Nursing • One size doesn't’t fit all • Movement away from the medicalized model of care to the social model (Slevin and Sines, 2005). • Valuing People (2001:2009) • Mansell Report (2007)

  4. My Placement • Medium Secure Unit • Rehabilitation ward • Yorkshire • Males • Dual Diagnosis of learning disabilities and mental health Conditions • Sectioned Under the Mental Health Act • High functioning learning disabilities

  5. How does Learning Disability and Mental Health best practice co-inside? • Limited Evidence-base • Person-Centered Approach • Working with the service users and the staff team

  6. What We Did • Identified an area of practice that could be developed (Service Improvement) • Spoke to the service users about their participation • Person centered plans – which they had control over

  7. Implementation • Individuals in charge of their own plans. • Named nurses supported where needed • Ward-rounds and MDTs supported where needed

  8. Results • The newly named ‘My Health Plan’ were successfully implemented in the two learning disability wards • Patients reported satisfaction in gaining control of their health status

  9. Future of best practice for dual diagnosis • The future of outlined guidance for dual-diagnosis is looking promising • NICE guidelines to be produced in 2015 • The Royal College of Psychiatrists has been commissioned further evidence-base in mental health conditions including those with a diagnosed co-morbid learning disability.
