Experience with healthcare as a person with a disability: As an individual with a social/learning disability, I have noticed that doctors have never taken me seriously when it comes to health issues because they think it's me being overdramatic or a hypochondriac. I have always had to fight for what I think I need and be very firm about how I am feeling in order to get any results.
In January 2019, NHS England published a delivery plan for personalised care. The delivery plan is called Universal Personalised Care: Implementing the comprehensive model
It says:
“Personalised care is one of the five major, practical changes to the NHS that will take place over the next five years, as set out the recently published Long Term Plan. Working closely with partners, the NHS will roll out personalised care to reach 2.5 million people by 2023/24 and then aim to double that again within a decade.
