The Care and Caring Network at the Open University was an attempt to meet the needs of the universitys growing workforce of carers and to retain their skills and expertise. These children can experience dozens and sometimes hundreds of seizures a day, causing cognitive disabilities and confining them to a wheelchair before they reach secondary school. The network was founded by Mary Larkin, a senior lecturer in health and social care at the OU, who drew upon her research into adult social care, as well as her own experience as a carer. What times of the day are you at your best? Most can control their seizures with anti-epileptic drugs but for 30% of patients these fail to work or produce intolerable side effects.
Mary Larkin's research into adult social care was approved and then ramped up to a 4-million-care-starving network.
