We welcome the findings of the Carers Trust's new report 'Care Act for carers: One year on'.
This shows that there are some carers who are getting good support under the Care Act, as well as some examples of good practice.

Inpatient care often involves restrictive interventions such as seclusion and restraint and restrictive practices that limit the person’s freedom, rights, and daily activities. Restrictive practice has not been the explicit focus in previous research however, it often appears as an important theme, with participants identifying it can have a detrimental effect on their wellbeing. More research specifically on this topic in an inpatient setting is therefore needed. Women might be particularly vulnerable to adverse effects of restrictive practices compared to men as women generally occupy less powerful positions in society and more often experience abuse.

An aging population will increase the number of people afflicted with cancer, and create challenges for patients, family members and health services.

Therefore, the aim of this study is to explore what older home dwelling cancer patients in the palliative phase and their close family members, as individuals and as a family, experience as important and difficult when facing the health services.
Parenting can be challenging for people with intellectual disabilities. The nature of the parents' intellectual disability as well as past experiences of institutionalisation, insensitive care and inadequate support can interfere with parents' capacity to provide responsive and appropriate parenting to their own children.

There is little evidence for parenting interventions to improve attachment in parents with intellectual disability.. To read the full article, log in using your SSSFT NHS OpenAthens details.
