PRESENTATION by Korrine Leney (Bucks County Council) and Nicola Lester (NHS Chiltern Clinical Commissioning Group) -

“What does the ageing population mean for us across Chiltern & South Bucks over the next 10 years?”

The aim of this presentation was to open up the workshop section of the event covering the issues currently faced by older people in the south of the County.

 

NOTES FROM THE CASE STUDIES (the case studies have been sent out with the minutes).

 

Attendees at the meeting were split into five case study groups to consider five different scenarios.  Each case study had a section on what the future looks like for the individual with public health data to support this. The aim was to discuss the issues and decide on three main actions to take forward.

The notes from each of the case studies are below (please note the facilitators/notetakers have used slightly different styles when recording the discussions and outcomes and these have been replicated here:

KG - main concern is social isolation; will the individual cut themselves off from the community entirely? What sorts of problems will we see for him at this point?

 

RR - main concern is his driving against GP’s recommendation, this is most alarming from the case study

 

AG - his sons should encourage him to take a look at his driving ability and send him to an assessment. Can assessments be more than voluntary? Can DVLA actually take away his license? Also concerns about Reg not remembering where he parked his car.

 

RR - stated that 70 is far too young to not be able to drive, this will cause him many problems with his independence.

 

LS - illustrated the process of driving test that the Memory Clinic refers individuals; following the assessment the individual returns in 6 months to be re-assessed. There are also issues with the stress of a test making memory problems worse in some situations.

 

AG - pointed out concern about Reg missing  ...  view the full minutes text for item 10.
