Record your experience of care and support during the Coronavirus pandemic
Register of COVID-19 experienceThe ‘Be Human’ movement want to make sure that the response to the Coronavirus crisis does not undermine the human rights of disabled people and people with long-term health conditions or our principles.
To these ends, we have set up a register to record the experiences of disabled people and people with long-term health conditions, their carers and family members, of getting health, social care services and treatment for Covid-19 during the period of the Pandemic and its aftermath. We want to learn from people’s experiences, both good and bad, and to help where we can if it is appropriate.

Advanced Care Planning – DNACPR – Statement from NHS England
NHS England and NHS Improvement, along with its many partners, are committed to ensuring the continued delivery of personalised care. However, they acknowledge there have been recent examples reported of where people’s wishes and preferences have not always been considered.
In response, on 1 April 2020 the British Medical Association (BMA), Care Provider Alliance (CPA), Care Quality Commission (CQC) and Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) issued a statement emphasising the importance of a personalised care plan. This was reiterated on 7 April 2020, in a letter to the local system leaders from NHS England and NHS Improvement in which it was stressed that advanced care planning is undertaken on an individual basis.
