    In 2009, the Estia Centre celebrates a decade of working \ud towards making sure the mental health needs of people \ud with learning disabilities are met – through specialist \ud clinical services, research, and a programme of training \ud and education for both support workers and mental \ud health professionals. \ud \ud Despite government efforts of recent years, people \ud with learning disabilities are still marginalised. Those \ud with mental health problems and more complex needs \ud are even more socially excluded: they are much less likely \ud to be given the chance to speak for themselves and much \ud less likely to be given choices. Many people with learning \ud disabilities and mental health problems are placed in \ud residential or specialist treatment centres far from their \ud local community: historical lack of state investment has \ud led to a growth of independent providers of services \ud and a dearth of specialist public sector alternatives. \ud Based on Guy’s Hospital campus at London Bridge, the \ud Estia Centre is part of South London and Maudsley NHS \ud Foundation Trust (SLaM). Members of the Estia team work \ud in SLaM’s clinical services and at the Institute of Psychiatry \ud (IoP),King’s College London, SLaM’s academic partner. \ud There is also a dedicated team at the Centre responsible \ud for organising a large portfolio of training, offered \ud routinely to staff in social care and mental health services \ud in south London, and also available on request to staff \ud working in services around the UKand in other countries. \ud \ud The work of the Estia Centre has been inspirational to \ud clinicians and policy makers around the world. Over the \ud years, the Estia team has shared skills and experience \ud through long-standing collaborations and consultancy \ud work, helping to shape and develop specialist mental \ud health services for the benefit of people with learning \ud disabilities and their families

    Monitoring response to hepatitis B and C in EU/EEA: testing policies, availability of data on care cascade and chronic viral hepatitis-related mortality – results from two surveys (2016)

    Get PDF
    Objectives: The World Health Organization (WHO) developed a European Regional Action Plan (EAP) to fast-track action towards the goal of eliminating viral hepatitis. Robust monitoring is essential to assess national programme performance. The purpose of this study was to assess the availability of selected monitoring data sources in European Union/European Economic Area (EU/EEA) Member States (MS). Methods: Availability of data sources at EU/EEA level was assessed using two surveys distributed to 31 EU/EEA MS in 2016. The two surveys covered (A) availability of policy documents on testing; testing practices and monitoring; monitoring of diagnosis and treatment initiation, and; (B) availability of data on mortality attributable to chronic viral hepatitis. Results: Just over two-thirds of EU/EEA MS responded to the surveys. 86% (18/21) reported national testing guidance covering HBV, and 81% (17/21) covering HCV; while 33% (7/21) and 38% (8/21) of countries, respectively, monitored the number of tests performed. 71% (15/21) of countries monitored the number of chronic HBV cases diagnosed and 33% (7/21) the number of people treated. Corresponding figures for HCV were 48% (10/21) and 57% (12/21). 27% (6/22) of countries reported availability of data on mortality attributable to chronic viral hepatitis. Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that sources of information in EU/EEA Member States to monitor the progress towards the EAP milestones and targets related to viral hepatitis diagnosis, cascade of care and attributable mortality are limited. Our analysis should raise awareness among EU/EEA policy makers and stimulate higher prioritisation of efforts to improve the monitoring of national viral hepatitis programmes
