Cerebral Palsy with Richard Luke, Scope and Karen Watson, Cerebral Palsy Adult Services UK

The Sunflower Conversations

Richard Luke from Scope and Karen Watson from Cerebral Palsy (CP) Adult Advice Service UK joined the podcast to answer questions from the Sunflower community about CP.
Cerebral Palsy develops before, during or soon after birth, and in this conversation, we discuss the fundamental issue of NHS care after childhood, leaving a gaping void in ongoing support. The episode also uncovers why CP, a complex condition, remains shrouded in misconceptions.

Richard and Karen generously share personal stories, shattering stereotypes and shedding light on the real experience of living with CP and examine the gaps in healthcare, education, and employment, we also discuss the socioeconomic disparities within the CP community.
If you are experiencing any issues discussed in this podcast, please contact your healthcare practitioner.
