Excellent #TedTalk. In a world you can be anything, #bekind. Why #empathy and #compassion matter in #healthcare. If you feel you need support, speak up, ask for help. 💙 ted.com/talks/sammy_batt_raw…

Another article today about PANS PANDAS. It’s a tragedy that at their lowest point families are still finding out about this awful illness by chance. Well done to this brave Mum for helping spread awareness and to @louise_eccles for again writing about this devastating condition.
Aspire-Ability, currently offers fully funded programme for 12-18 Yr olds with #disabilities- see information below. You can find full details about this amazing #organisation at: aerobility.com/aspire-abilit… #learningdisability #autism #physicaldisability

An opportunity has arisen for an experienced GP to join our senior leadership team as Medical Director, to represent, support and advise general practice. If you are a practising GP with a passion for general practice please consider applying: wessexlmcs.com/job/medical-d…
I am so delighted to share another local achievement by this incredible #GPpractice team. The #Odiham and Old Basing GP practice became #LDFriendly recently.Ongoing work to #support #patients with #learningdisabilities continues in #Hampshire. Thank you team! @hiowhealthcare
I absolutely love listening to Dr Sanjay Gupta videos, they all make perfect sense to me. He is kind, compassionate but does recognise wider issues. Still, his suggestions in this video would tranform #patientcare. See what you think! youtu.be/_pUWEMbJZt8?si=OOO9…

All #health and #socialcare workers should watch this video. #people with a #learningdisability live over 20 years shorter lives than those in general #population. People with #LD are people first, not "just" a #disability! #health .x.com/jonnielovely/s…youtu.be/zi4wlR_GQAU?si=GTof…

People with a #learningdisability are people first. They are someones daughter, son, uncle, auntie, husband or wife. We really need to do better and provide the #care people need and deserve. This is really tough watch but #important to share so things can improve! #health #NHS

Stopping smoking can feel scary or stressful. No one should do it alone; getting help from family and friends can make a big difference. By listening and reminding people why they want to stop, being kind and helping them stay strong when it’s tough.

Our Alison and Louise discussed ##CervicalScreening with a group of #support staff last week as part of our #QIproject aiming to increase the uptake of #cervical #screening in #people with a #learningdisability. Brilliant work, brilliant #feedback, and more to come! #NHS #cancer
Last #KeepingYouWell #event is now behind us so I wanted to say thank you so much to all #services that attended/gave up their time to support our local #population of people with a #learningdisability/#autism. Brilliant #networking too, until next time! 👋 #NHS #health

Yesterday evening was rather exciting as one of our #learningdisability #self-advocates has, for the 1st time, attended his local #GPpractice #PPG (Patient Participation Group). Our Strategic Health Facilitator supported Leon to start his journey of improving services #NHS 🎉
