This resource from the British Journal of General Practice Open, features a national survey of adults with CP in the UK, examining changes in mobility, pain, fatigue, and other aspects of health, along with patterns of healthcare use. Findings indicate that ageing is associated with greater mobility limitations and increased pain, while overall healthcare utilisation remains relatively low, raising questions about access to and responsiveness of services.

As people with cerebral palsy are now living into older adulthood, understanding how ageing affects their health and daily functioning has become increasingly important.
