Sadly as a trainee nurse, I've only just realised I wouldn't know the signs to recognise signs/symptoms on different skin tones. Especially, when the core element of healthcare is care. Fortunately, I've stumbled across @malone_mk and will definitely be promoting this awareness👏🏼

“But what will it look like on darker skin?”- A question I’ve often asked myself during my time at medical school

This constant cerebration led me to curate a handbook that presents clinical features on darker skin. I hope this resource shifts the culture of medical education.

It’s been 63 years since suicide was decriminalised in the UK. But so many of us still use the term ‘commit suicide’.

Why does it matter? Language that links suicide and crime can increase stigma and prevent people struggling with suicidal thoughts from speaking out.

If we choose language like ‘died by suicide’ or ‘took their own life’ we allow space for open conversations and compassion. Let’s choose our words carefully.

@Mermcm Ahmen! Let's hope we recruit more LD nurses too!

[Mencap @mencap_charity]

It's #LearningDisabilityWeek! 💜

We want people with a learning disability to be seen.

Research shows that people with a learning disability have had enough of being ignored, mistreated, patronised - and, sometimes, even locked away.

Absolutely pleased to see more Learning disabilities(LD) representation. Loved the 5 flowers chosen to emphasis, the 5% of those with an LD in employment.

Let's hope this trend keeps flourishing 🌻
