@KerryLDNurse93 @iain19831 @NHSGrampian @SLDNN_Students @SLDNN6 Miss my inpatient work, couldn’t agree more, wonderful, supportive MDT @NHSGrampian

[brodie andrew paterson @Drbrodiepaters1]

Annual health checks for people with an LD in Scotland introduced. I wrote a report recommending these in 1998. Long overdue therefore but these should make a huge difference to addressing persistent inequality. #SLDNN24

I am struggling to recruit participants. I am looking to discuss with occupational therapists working with adults with learning disabilities. I would really like to discuss with any occupational therapists who have tried to do this work or discuss the barriers of doing this work.

It's #NationalPoopDay 💩

If you care for someone with a learning disability, you can help keep them safe and healthy.

Talk to them about the signs of constipation, get them medical support if necessary.

Find out more and get materials to help you:

If you want an alternative to dressing up for this year's #WorldBookDay, why not ask kids to draw something by their favourite illustrator?
You could create a 'gallery' and get them to talk about why they like that particular artwork. Celebrate both illustrators and writers! 🤩
