Free Members’ Webinar: Multiple long-term conditions in people with Intellectual Disability
Thursday 30 November 2023
Overview of this webinar
This grand round focused on multiple long-term conditions which is one of the major challenges that we are facing today. One in three patients admitted to hospital as an emergency has five or more health conditions which is a significant increase from a decade ago when it was one in ten. Multi-morbidity that include a mental health condition has been less studied and explored.
Although the context of the presentation is on people with intellectual disability, the challenges related to multi-morbidity is relevant for all mental health professionals.
The grand round started with a presentation by an expert by experience and then explored the evidence base for the management, population level challenges as well as discussion of a currently ongoing research project on multi-morbidity which uses artificial intelligence in improving our knowledge and management of these conditions.
The session was chaired by Dr Deepa Bagepalli Krishnan, RCPsych Dean’s Grand Rounds Lead, and speakers included:
- Alix Glazier - expert by experience
- Sarah Rabbitte - LD nurse, Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust
- Gemma Lewin - Speciality trainee, Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust
