Can I help 24 families in 2024? 🤔 Here’s what it would mean to me ⬇️ I have decided to set myself a goal this year, which is to use my experience to try and help 24 families in England who have children requiring NHS Personal Health Budgets (or who are embarking on this journey). I have a life-limited son, Matthew, who is 12 and I have successfully run my own Personal Health Budget for the past 10yrs. He would agree 😂☺️ I know it is extremely hard which is why I am keen to use my experience and the spare time I have to help other families, so they can obtain more balance with managing a PHB so it becomes a useful tool rather than a burden. Ways in which a family could benefit are wide and varied 📄Being supported and empowered to recruit the staff they need for a more stable and long term care package. 🚂Being supported in getting the right medical / employer training 📑 Helping create contracts for carers to give peace of mind to both parents & carers 🗣️Having someone who’s been there to simply listen and support ☺️ 🙋♂️🙋♀️ Being empowered so they can run a successful PHB no matter what experience they have 💷 Suported to get the right budget for their PHB to ensure they get the care they need 📃Be informed about the right documents, such as Support Plans to allow continuous collaboration and co-production between parents & NHS. 💙Being supported and empowered to take on recruiting / managing their own carers if care agencies are not fulfilling their duties. These are just a handful of ways in which I can help but I need to ask for your help initially. If you are/know of any parents with a PHB, I’d you’re a member of the NHS/ICB (or know colleagues), know families that could be helped, or charities that have families that could do with some extra help, please could you tag, comment, share this post far and wide or send them to https://lnkd.in/de6aPFXh For any parents or NHS staff interested in Personal Health Budgets, from a parents point of view, I’m running some FREE webinars so feel free to join me with a ☕️ https://lnkd.in/dQnRGcS4 Thank you for taking the time to read this far and I wish you all the best - LinkedIn community you are amazing! 🙏☺️
