Nurses have hailed the new ITV drama #Breathtaking as 'almost too realistic' to watch, as the three-part series triggers harrowing memories from working in the COVID pandemic.

Have you watched yet?

It's #LearningDisabilityWeek and we are delighted to share this short film about the beautiful #WelcomeToTheWorld suitcases, which we give to babies who are born with #DownSyndrome @LeedsHospitals
Please take a couple of minutes to find out more. https://t.co/xR6YEvK5mF

[LTHT LD and Autism @getmebetter]

Did you know we have a new #VirtualReality headset? This can help our #Autistic patients and patients with #LearningDisabilities who are having minor procedures @LeedsHospitals. Our wards are great but it is much nicer to be 'at the beach', 'underwater' or 'on safari'!

[LTHT LD and Autism @getmebetter]

#FabFriday
Today @NHSAbility are making a film about the Welcome to the World suitcases, for babies born with Down Syndrome @LeedsHospitals

We are filming today with Max from @DiffAbilityCIC, he was an absolute star in front of (and behind) the camera! 🌟

[Rachel Barwick @RachelBarwick2]

I was reminded today why I love my job!
Changing families views from "oh god my child is going to hospital" to "you are all amazing thank you so much you are all angels!"
....And it all started with offering a brew, then sitting and listening 💗! #leedsway @getmebetter

[Rachel Barwick @RachelBarwick2]

I'm always late to the party but fully in support of #worlddownsyndromeday #WithUsNotForUs #RNLD
