Findings indicate 38.8% of deaths reviewed in 2023 were classed as avoidable. A notable reduction from previous years but still almost double the 21.6% in the total adult population. Chapter 1 details: https://t.co/4cu1VsaOv8 #LeDeR @KingsIoPPN

Last Myth of the day. Myth Number 5
MYTH: Learning Disability Teams should meet all the health needs of everyone with a Learning Disability
REALITY: People should be supported, with reasonable adjustments, to access mainstream services wherever possible.

Well done to Sarah Baybutt for winning WWL Community Division, Employee of the Month. A colleague who definitely gives 100%.....

This week marks 10 years in the NHS, 10 years in the @WWL_LDTeam and more recently @WWLACSLT. Thankful for a brilliant bunch of colleagues who make me want to stay another 10 years.

Another of our Autistic experts describes his experience as:

"We are all bicycles. Some are road bikes, some are mountain bikes.. but I am a penny-farthing. Bike sheds aren't made for me so I get stuck on the outside."

A quote that I learned from an autistic colleague on our Oliver McGowan training days- and I now use this regularly

@happysmilescic Kevin did such a good job last week! He gives brilliant examples to explain the training content and makes it personal. He's a star ⭐
