Learning Disability Nurse ✨

[Ellie Sims @EllieJSims]

It’s not Downs Syndrome that stops people from doing things, it’s society’s attitudes and assumptions.

Get your odd socks on and support World Downs Syndrome Day and stop assuming people can’t do things 💙💛

[Ellie Sims @EllieJSims]

A resource which I hope improves communication in healthcare and in turn reduces health inequalities. Grateful for the opportunity and very proud!

Makaton Support for Healthcare – a practical tool to help healthcare professionals communicate with patients. Full of simple questions + Makaton symbols to support understanding & reduce anxiety. Includes access to downloadable tools too!

💛💙 Down’s syndrome awareness month: In 2017 @NursingTimes called for compulsory training for staff involved in prenatal screening 😢 This has never happened.
There must be an impact assessment @wesstreeting
