Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin Hospital Transformation Programme

21/11/2023

A series of focus groups to inform the Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin Hospital Transformation Programme (HTP) are currently ongoing.  PACC recently attended a meeting of the Learning Disability and Autism HTP Focus Group where information was shared about the transformation programme which will change how hospital-based services are delivered locally.  You can view the presentation shared at this focus group here.

The learning Disability and Autism focus group was particularly looking at how the hospital environment can be designed to support neurodiversity.  There were discussions about sounds, lighting, colour and visual information.  There was a particular focus on how ‘retreats’ and ‘safe spaces’ could be provided for those with learning disabilities, autism and other additional support needs.

There are a number of Focus Groups considering different aspects of the programme, some of which are listed below.

5th December - Medicine & Emergency Care, Surgery, Anaesthetics Critical Care & Cancer focus group

7th December – Women’s and Children’s Focus group

 30th January – About Health Event - Hospitals Transformation Programme
