| Annotation | This national service framework (NSF) sets eleven quality requirements for health and social care services for people with long-term neurological conditions to live as independently as possible. Much of the guidance in this document can also apply to anyone living with a long-term condition. The quality requirements are: a person-centred service; early recognition, prompt diagnosis and treatment; emergency and acute management; early and specialist rehabilitation; community rehabilitation and support; vocational rehabilitation; providing equipment and accommodation; providing personal care and support; palliative care; supporting family and carers; and caring for people with neurological conditions in hospital or other health and social care settings. This NSF is supported by a web-based NSF good practice guide, an NSF information strategy, a leaflet for the public and glossary of terms (see www.dh.gov.uk/longtermnsf). (RH). |
