Improving access to services in Nottingham City and Nottinghamshire County

Neurological Information and Access Partnership

The Neurological Information and Access Partnership (NIAP) project was launched in May 2009 to ensure that people in Nottingham City and Nottinghamshire County with neurological conditions, including Parkinson's, have clearer access to appropriate provision and services.

Rehabilitation services such as physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech and language therapy play a key role in the management of neurological conditions.

NIAP is funded by the Department of Health and managed by us. The partnership is working closely with local authorities, statutory agencies and neurological charities.

Survey

During August and September 2009 two separate surveys were carried out in the Nottingham City and Nottinghamshire County areas.

The first survey was for health and social care professionals and the second, for people with neurological conditions, including Parkinson's, and their carers.

The surveys contained questions about access to services, barriers to services and ideas for improvements.

Findings

Findings from these surveys are being used to influence future service provision creating clearer pathways to neurological rehabilitation, information and advice.
