I asked a question on the neglected & scary subject of aging with diabetes just 5 days ago at #TAD2024. Thank you ‘Type 1s in Sheffield’, this is great news to hear!
@the_only_abi@TADtalkEvents Her enjoyment was lovely to hear Abby! She didn’t detract from the event at all; she brought joy as did #mrkeshta’s little one 💙💙

Every single time I feel “Think I have done enough as an Elected Councillor- now the senior leadership will do the needful re PAs”?
Something then happens like trying to shut me down from passing views
And you know that saying.
(A few days peace would be nice though peeps)
Hospitals often have restricted visiting hours. The reason is often just “because that’s the rules”. But these arbitrary rules can be upsetting for relatives and harmful for patients.
A week ago, we had a beautiful baby girl. The maternity unit were amazing and let me visit all hours of the day. But all patients should be able to benefit from this.
My article in today’s mail health section explains why I passionately think we should liberalise patient visiting rules and shows the evidenced that backs this up.
More hospitals are starting to adopt this, but I believe there are massive benefits if this becomes normal practice. If you agree, please share!
