4. IF CHILD HELP working group
Set up an expert meeting
to prepare this workshop
on interdisciplinary and
life-long care
5. Interdisciplinary expert group
Prepared a concept note as a result of an expert group
- Surgeon
- Parent
- Paediatrician
- Nurse
- CBR expert
- Adult was missing
It could have been you too!
6. Draft concept note
- Two days to share these ideas with you
- to add your comments
- to modify the concept note
- plan SHIP in your setting
- We know that 'Adult Perspective' is missing and that the exercise is
mainly focussed on Spina Bifida, for Hydrocephalus it will be a bit different
- you should try-out the concept the coming
year and come back next year and evaluate
and plan the future
8. Who are the stake
holders in long life
care /youngster/adult
The child
The parents, family and relatives
Parent / user groups
The community
The surgeon / hospital team
CIC / CBR project
Out- reach clinics …/...
Teachers
Employer
10. SHIP in Africa
Different teams and organisations
Long distances
Different languages
Different bosses
Etc..
What binds is the well-being
of the child/family/adult
11. If we do not work
together?
Splintered ineffective care
No holistic approach
Help will often not be accepted
Needs will not be served
Metaphor of an ice cream
Not too cold/not too hot/ reachable at a payable price
(correct balance between cost and benefit) or barriers
to care
12. Negative cycle
No believe of the society
Unmotivated professionals and parents
14. Positive cycle
Fighting Stereotypes on disabilities
Opportunities for people with SB/H
15. Parent/child/adult involvement
“Beginning at the end
of the chain”
Help is often organized from
the professional perspective...
But sometimes this help is not
really a help for the target
group Liesje, Leen and me
Two examples Dar es Salaam and Sudan where
parent groups took the lead to ensure services
16. Starting point for this workshop
Mbale study
Where CBR is following up, the mortality in SB/H children is the same
as in the normal population
If not the mortality is extremely high!!!
CBR and long life follow up is as life saving as surgery !!!
17. Steps in care
- preoperative care (referral, counseling, travel...)
- Knowledge and data transfer (Ship Passport)
- Surgery and hospitalization
- Post operative care
- long life care
18. Surgery is opening
the door to a decent
life!
But after that door a full house with many rooms need
our attention.
Till now we mainly
focussed on surgery,
now we want to
look in all aspects
of long life care
19. Care starts even before
surgery
- diagnose
- will surgery be possible/needed?
- referral conditions
– Cleaning and protecting the wound
– Nutrition status of the kid
– The mother and her condition
– information to parents
– Measure the head circumference (on chart)
- information transfer to other professionals
20. Hospitalization and
surgery
- networking
- min. needed to close the back
- min. needed to place a shunt
- min. needed for ETV/CPC
- indication for surgery
- antibiotics
Post operative care/counseling and training
Discharge (ship passport...)
21. Long life care

and barriers towards services Why me?
- parent meetings
- Involvement in out - reach clinics
23. Adult involvement

.../...
24. Contents of the workshop
Work in 4 groups,

We will have common sessions
to exchange and learn from each other
and separate sessions to look in specific items.
25. Statements popping up during
the meeting
All steps in care should have the
sole goal:
the improvement of the quality of
life of the person
concerned.
The burden of the intervention for
the person
should be less
compared to the expected
benefit.
