The #LeDeR2022 report which investigates deaths of people with a #LearningDisability is published today. The report finds people with a learning disability are still dying decades earlier than the general population and 42% of deaths were “avoidable”. 👇 kcl.ac.uk/research/leder

Too many people with a #learningdisability are dying from #Sepsis. Today is #WorldSepsisDay are we want everyone to know how to spot sepsis. Watch this video to help #FamilyCarers see the signs early youtu.be/bGOpIoDrZPM #TakeActionSaveLives


Very grateful for the opportunity to attend the aspiring leaders programme, a great first day and looking forward to the next 6 months

Amazing to welcome our next cohort of Mental Health and Learning Disability Nurses to our @NHSsoutheast programme. A great day spent with Debbie Preston on Self awareness and personality preferences. @FNightingaleF @GemmaStacey10 @GretaWestwood

Language is so important, thank you @SteveHardyLDN

I recently interviewed a group of people with #LearningDisabilities for a new book. They all voted on ‘distress’ or ‘signs of distress’ to replace ‘challenging behaviour’ or ‘behaviour that challenges’ They said the reason I self injure or hit someone is because I’m distressed

I've emailed my MP to ask for a COVID-19 recovery plan for disabled children and their families - can you join me? Because of delays to therapies and health appointments, more than half of parents say their child's condition has worsened. bit.ly/MPrecoveryplan
