CIICA LIVE: CI SERVICES MATTER
CI SERVICES MATTER : Report of our global adult survey
Thanks to all who took part in our global survey – over 1,000 from 40 countries. There were very high satisfaction rates with CI but concerns about:
- the lack of rehabilitation for adults
- concerns about managing the technology in everyday life
- the need for lifelong services
- lifelong funding
I need reassurance that my CI will work and be supported right up to the day I die.
It was clear that CI SERVICES MATTER.
This CIICA LIVE event gave details of the findings of this consultation, and of the key recommendations. The report was launched on Friday 3 November and a Briefing was made available to share with your members, colleagues and families. The CIICA LIVE event included young adults implanted as children and reporting as adults – for them lifelong services are many years.
