Cerebral palsy in adults: meeting unmet needs
Available to watch on demand. There are 130 000 adults in the UK with cerebral palsy and, despite NICE guidance released in 2019, many are not getting the support they need. Adults with cerebral palsy face unique challenges because integrated multi-professional care inexplicably stops at transition to adult services. Red Whale and Up: The Adult Cerebral Palsy Movement have joined forces to support primary care with this free one-hour webinar that will explore the unmet health needs of adults living with cerebral palsy.

We’ll examine:
- The challenges of transition from paediatric to adult care, and how adults with cerebral palsy can get lost in the system.
- Health needs in adulthood, including risks of earlier deterioration in mobility, falls, osteoporosis, pain and mental health concerns, and when early referral may make a difference.
- The potential for diagnostic overshadowing.
- How to untangle possible referral pathways.
- Fantastic resources from Up that we can use to support our consultations and empower adults with cerebral palsy.
