Information Access Toolkit
The Information Access Toolkit is designed to help commissioners and providers of health and social care services to meet the information needs of people with long-term neurological conditions.
The toolkit:
- Provides support for health and social care organisations to meet the information related quality requirements of the Long-term Conditions National Service Framework by taking you through the process required to meet these.
- Signposts health and social care professionals to sources of information and support to assist them in providing the information sought by people affected by neurological conditions.
- Provides guidance to health and social care professionals on best practice in communication and providing information, and to managers on best practice in providing and commissioning a comprehensive service that includes appropriate provision of information, enabling them to implement various aspects of the White Paper Our health, our care, our say, such as the information prescription.
The toolkit was developed over two years by the Information Access Project at the Brain and Spine Foundation, and was launched during Brain Awareness Week (12-18 March 2007) at Spinal Injury Association House in Milton Keynes.
