ALT A graphic with a dark blue background. On the left side, there is a speech bubble with light purple background and dark text that reads: "I was supported by the occupational therapy team to achieve my goals. I am now more independent, and I can look after myself with the right support. Recently I was supported to follow my dreams and travel to Dubai. I was supported by the occupational therapist to speak up and have my wishes listened to." Next to the speech bubble is a photo of a person standing outdoors, smiling, wearing a patterned shirt, light blue shorts, a bucket hat, and sunglasses. At the bottom of the graphic, in large white text, it says: "Do you see me? – C’s story: The Adventurer"

LD Nurses in GP surgeries would enable access to primary care and is desperately need. However, the LD Nursing workforce has almost halved, and several universities have withdrawn programmes. Gov action is needed now to prevent avoidable deaths @wesstreeting
Read about why #GP surgeries should have more learning disability nurses working in them and why more students would benefit from practice placements in them too @denise_pod @nursemaggi @SAF_Health @edgehill

Recent research found The Mental Capacity Act was not followed in a quarter of deaths of autistic people and those with learning disabilities in 2022
'How can this possibly be a functioning or working system? It's absolutely vital the government looks into this,' Tim Nicholls, of @Autism, says

Today is #WorldAutismDay.
Being autistic does not mean you have an illness or disease. It means your brain works in a different way.
Our page has advice if you or someone you know is autistic: nhs.uk/autism
