We need everyone behind this! Please take 20seconds to sign. Learning disability nursing has been in constant decline for nearly a decade. The identity of the field is at risk of dilution and the skills needed are at risk of not being available https://t.co/nw7aQ3p8aF

Our researchers have found that ADHD medications have overall small effects on blood pressure and heart rate.

They say the benefits of these medications outweigh the risks, while highlighting the need for careful monitoring.

1/1🗣️People with a learning disability die up to 20 years younger than the general population, even though this could be avoided with the right healthcare.

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine. History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for.

Before the Leadbeater bill's second reading, I co-wrote, with distinguished barristers and academics, a memorandum about the legal aspects of the bill for MPs. We have decided to publish it. Link in the next tweet.

[Helen Bevan @HelenBevan]

Seven elements in tackling complex problems in a work context (not necessarily in a linear order: all these elements are interconnected):
1. Step back to see the wider picture: we need to pull ourselves out of the details/specifics because of the interdependencies in big, complex problems: systems thinking, system mapping, soft systems &/or network analysis can help.
2. Get input from people with a wide range of experiences & expertise.
3. invest time & energy in external research: lessons learned in other organisations & the expertise of researchers, thought leaders & regulators.
4. Revisit our principles & values to help guide our approach as to how we are going to implement change.
5. Build our tolerance for uncertainty & risk: how can we learn, grow & more effectively navigate the increasing complexity of our world?
6. Create small scale tests of change to understand what might work.
7. Continuously learn, adapt & improve.

🚀 We've just launched our latest #BrokenPlate report!

It highlights the fact too many people are struggling to access healthy food and much of what is marketed to us is damaging our health and the planet.
