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”.

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 https://t.co/mxEbxP6l6O #TakeActionSaveLives

News. People with a learning disability from ethnic minority backgrounds die at an average age of just 34, compared to an average age of 62 for white people with learning disabilities.

@CoatesMarta I qualified as an RNLD 12 years ago and I am currently a Senior LeDeR Reviewer. I have had some amazing experiences working in the NHS from community nursing, working in a hospital as an LD liaison nurse and then in a paediatric hospital as a LD clinical nurse specialist

Language is so important, thank you @SteveHardyLDN

[Steve Hardy🏳️‍🌈 @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
