Workshop questions prompting a lot of discussion at today’s 100 years of Learning Disability Nursing event “Too many people with learning disabilities are living in hospitals and not in their own homes”. Lots of suggestions from self-advocates about how we need to improve things

Proud moment today ... I kicked my anxiety in the butt and took myself to the gym ! Yes the first 10/20 minutes I felt embarrassed and felt like leaving but I didn’t 😱 even booked classes and bought myself a Fitbit Versa #anxiety#gym#newme#fitbitversa
When you have a lie in for the first time in years ... you wake up to see your student loan has went in with out any problems and you realise you have two weeks off uni #happy#studentlife#studentnurse#shoppingtime
Our NHS has lost over 200,000 nurses since 2010.
On #NursesDay2019, I make this commitment: things will be different under Labour. Nurses will be paid properly and have the working conditions they need to care for us all.
We'll value those who contribute most to our society.
@ljch22@MakatonCharity Oh wow that’s amazing, such a great way to communicate and feelings are so important! I’m going to try and make my own as well thanks for the advice 😊
Spent my night printing and laminating health care cards for myself and students on my course 😀 these are free to print from the @MakatonCharity website ❤️ will be a great help for future placements and qualified nurses 👩⚕️#studentlearningdisabilitynurse#makaton#learning
Gemma Hayter was brutally tortured and murdered by people she thought were her friends.
With disability hate crime on the rise, her family are now speaking out about her death and asking why more wasn't done to protect her.
