This could be for a short period (such as when you are first diagnosed) or ongoing.<\/p>\n<p>There can be a lot to keep track of. Communication between people or services can be slow, or not always very efficient. Coordinating all this \u2013 and managing the impact on your daily life can be very demanding.<\/p>\n<p>Good care coordination facilitated by healthcare professionals is increasingly being recognised as a key component for supporting the physical and mental health of those impacted by rare conditions.<\/p>\n<h5>The role of care coordinators<\/h5>\n<p>A care coordinator can help minimise the impact of managing your rare condition on your daily life. They can also help ensure healthcare (and sometimes social care) care professionals are all in communication with each other.<\/p>\n<p><strong>They can help:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>schedule appointments<\/li>\n<li>arrange additional support like interpreters, transport, disability aids<\/li>\n<li>liaise with other health or social care professionals<\/li>\n<li>be a point of contact for you<\/li>\n<li>act as a \u2018bridge\u2019 between you and other healthcare professionals<\/li>\n<li>help you access support from charities and support groups<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Finding A was a godsend. She helped me keep it all together in the early days by chasing people up, rearranging appointments that were clashing. There was so much to juggle.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Currently, not everyone with a rare condition is routinely offered a care coordinator, even though many people indicate they would find it very helpful.<\/p>\n<h5>If you would find it helpful to have a named care coordinator, ask your hospital doctor or nurse if this is possible.<\/h5>\n<p>Even if they cannot allocate someone to you formally, there may be a professional who can be a \u2018point of contact\u2019 to help you make or change appointments for example.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.3&#8243;
