Applying the Care Act's preventative agenda to proactive bathroom design for long-term conditions.
Learning objectives
- Our experiences of the Disabled Facilities Grant and other funding streams can often lead us to feel that legislation is restrictive and inhibiting.
- We will discuss the Care Act (2014) preventative agenda and how this can be applied to proactive bathroom design.
- We will use the example of dementia, visual impairment and wheelchair user-friendly environments to reduce risk, but the theory and application of evidence base is transferable across clinical settings
