If you care for someone with a learning disability, you can help keep them safe and healthy. Talk to them about the signs of constipation, get them medical support if necessary. Find out more and get free materials to help you: orlo.uk/2dUwA

We have seen lots of staff changes over the last year, here we are at our research team building day last week. One thing that hasn't changed, is that we continue to be dedicated to providing research opportunities to our patients, the community and Trust staff. 🥰

Gail had a bad experience at the dentist. She is now passionate about using her voice so that others with learning disabilities don't have the same experience. 🦷 #BecauseWeAllCare 🏥 Share your experience to help improve care for everyone 👉

What does having a #LearningDisability actually mean? 🤷 As it is #LDWeek19, we thought it was the perfect opportunity to ask some people with a learning disability what it means to them. 🤔 Here is what they had to say.👇 #LDWeek19 #HereIAm
