When filling out forms why’s there no option for “unpaid carer” The only options seem to be “homemaker” or “unemployed”. Despite saving the government £168 billion a year & despite 47% working over 90 hrs a wk, we still aren’t recognised or valued @Keir_Starmer

This needs to go viral 🤬🤬🤬

And absolutely nothing on carers ⬇️ never been so depressed as we’re nearing the end of #CarersWeek

The @UKLabour manifesto shows the party is still shadowboxing on #socialcare policy, with only one major policy - a fair pay agreement - and no detail even for that. Worryingly, there is nothing here that commits a Labour govt to concrete measures in its first term. Short thread.

#TuesdayThoughts Resilience is finding the inner strength to keep going, even when the odds are stacked against you. It's not about avoiding the storm, but exploring and learning about the storm as it passes us by.

Only a hospital rheumatology clinic, would give 9am appointments, tell you on the letter to allow plenty of time, then lock the door until 9am, meaning people who mostly will be in pain having to stand for over 20 mins as all the staff go in. Care? Compassion? @Leic_hospital

Been informed tonight the Oxford half marathon is “preferred sex” Humans can’t change sex, it is binary & immutable. We cant prefer to be a different sex from the one we actually are. Our sex remains in every single cell in our bodies, forever, It’s blatant sex discrimination to…

A very powerfully worded letter from @AlfDubs to @NICEComms explaining why it is so important to assess #Tofersen the right way for people living with #ALS #MND @UKMNDRI @mndassoc @MNDoddie5 @united2endmnd @MNDScotland

Do see @AlfDubs’ blistering letter to @NICEComms on their inexplicable decision on the drug Tofersen, licenced for use in the US and EU. @MNDPatients will be denied this life-saving treatment in the UK. So damaging for all potential gene therapies! Do read 👇🏼

Today @profcjmcdermott and I have written to the Rt Hon Andrew Stephenson CBE MP, Minister for Health and Social Care, asking for an urgent meeting to discuss how NICE evaluates new treatments for #MND #ALS in light of their decision on Tofersen. @UKMNDRI @mndassoc @MNDoddie5

Whether paid or unpaid - no one should be expected to work 24 hours a day, to never have any guaranteed sleep or days off, no sick leave & no annual leave. But the government expects unpaid carers to do just that, to sacrifice their own health every day because of their failures

The goal of the NHS should be to provide high-quality, personalised care to all patients. This requires a shift away from the target-driven approach we often see in the NHS towards a more holistic approach that prioritises the needs & well-being of both patients & professionals.

… measuring equipment and shoes to her and her child, the staff member said he would only agree to this if she agreed to definitely buying a pair of shoes! Is this your policy on accessibility? Do your staff have disability awareness training? 2/2
