Did you know that every adult in Wales with a learning disability who is on their GP register, is entitled to an Annual Health Check? Have you had one? Do you know what it entails? Come to Merthyr FC next week and speak to the liaison nurses and they can tell you about them!

One of my most recent drawings is based on Tonkin's (1996) theory of grief.

Often, people expect the pain of grief to shrink, but in reality it is life growing around it that can make it less consuming.

@Leah_LDStudent Love them!!

[Swansea Bay NHS @SwanseabayNHS]

Did you know Swansea Bay has a telephone service aimed at supporting mental health?

Call 111 Option 2 puts you in direct contact with a team of mental health professionals at Neath Port Talbot Hospital.

Ring NHS Wales 111 and choose Option 2.

Available 24/7.

[Swansea Bay NHS @SwanseabayNHS]

Morriston Hospital is under extreme pressure. Consider alternatives to the ED for a minor injury/illness. Try the Minor Injury Unit at NPT Hospital or NHS Wales online symptom checker. More about urgent care support: https://t.co/0o8MjZmBa3

@angeblack200 Sorry that you feel that way, as a student learning disability nurse im going to have to disagree, however I do believe there needs to be more awareness of what LD nurses actually do and if would be great if we had extra liaison in the hospitals

[Jodie McCarthy (Student LD Nurse) @JL_MCC94]

@angeblack200 Kinda like the learning disability community nurses role and the liaison nurses in the hospital, which are already in place but definitely agree there should be doctors specifically trained for patients with a learning disability.

[NHS England @NHSEngland]

Today, some services will be affected due to strike action.

Please continue to come forward for NHS care, if you need medical help use 111 online, and in emergencies, please call 999.

Honoured to be named as one of the 75 nurses and great to see so many learning disability nurses included in this list.

A minute's silence impeccably observed by players and spectators alike, in the heart of the Rhondda Valley for @StJoesPT_PE pupil David Ejimofor, who tragically lost his life at Aberavon Beach, earlier this week.
