The Care Bundle
The Care Bundle has been designed to help hospital staff ensure that people with learning disabilities receive a fair and equitable service when they visit hospitals.
The Care Bundle is to be used whenever someone with learning disabilities is admitted to a ward or visits a department in order that they receive the care and treatment they deserve.
Our hope is that using the Pathway and Care Bundle will help ensure that what happened to Paul does not happen to anyone else with learning disabilities.
“The care bundle was developed by 1000 Lives (now Improvement Cymru), ABMU and the Welsh Government in response to the Ombudsman’s report after Paul’s death, and it was launched in January 2014 at the Welsh Assembly Government by the Health Minister.
It sets out the steps that must be taken when a patient with learning disabilities comes into hospital to ensure that they receive the care and treatment that they deserve, and to help ensure that what happened to Paul does not happen to anyone else.
- Early recognition of patients with learning disabilities.
- Dignified, person-centred care and treatment
- Effective communication with patients, carers, family members and clinicians
- Effective review and discharge planning
