Passionate about the health needs of people with learning disabilities. Proud to work in the NHS.Enjoy live music, singing, travelling, the ocean and good food.
Nearly a third of English NHS trusts do not have a learning disability liaison service employing a registered learning disability nurse as our #FOI investigation found @RCNi_Anita. Reverse this workforce gap and inequality and outcomes might just improve.

The NHS Long term plan highlights the need to double RNLD workforce to reduce inequalities & premature deaths.
@NandM_Keele have withdrawn their Learning Disability Nurse programme.
I do worry about the consequenses @PegisStoke@PaulaMc007@mencap_charity@JonathanBeebee
BREAKING
TORY govt breaks the law AGAIN as @libertyhq WINS their case
Last yr Suella Braverman changed definition of “serious disruption” to mean “more than minor” giving police almost unlimited powers to shut down protests

The biggest outbreak of whooping cough is being seen in the UK for many years, with @UKHSA now reporting five deaths of babies from the infection in England between January and March. This article outlines what children's nurses should look out for.

Five babies have lost their life in 3 months due to whooping cough
The saddest thing is that these deaths were fully preventable 😞
The whooping cough (pertussis) vaccine for:
💉PREGNANT women b/w 20-32 weeks
💉 BABIES at 8, 12 & 16 weeks
Vaccines are SAFE & LIFE SAVING!
@thenitinsawhney enjoying listening to the new album Identity this Bank Holiday. You are so gifted with your music featuring so many great artists. Hope you are recovering well. ♥️
Medical researchers now have more evidence linking infection w/ Helicobacter pylori—a stomach bacterium—to colorectal cancer. Already a causative factor in gastric cancer, H. pylori upped the risk of colorectal cancer by 18% & increased mortality by 12% https://t.co/Nou8J1A9dU
Aleksey Navalny was a fearless advocate for his beliefs who died unbroken by the tyranny he opposed. He fought corruption, inspired millions and never wavered in his insistence on free expression, the rule of law, and a Russia that is accountable to the people and not a dictator. He died in unyielding defense of his vision of a better future for his country - a vision, and a courageous example, that will never die.
Navalny's wife, Yulia Navalnaya at the Munich Security Conference (w/ ENG translation):
"And I want to call on the entire world community, everyone in this room, people all over the world, so that we unite together and defeat this evil, defeat the horrific regime that is now in Russia. Both this regime and Vladimir Putin must bear personal responsibility for the terrible things that they are doing to my country, to our country Russia in recent years.”
It’s beyond shocking that this is still happening. Not even headline news. So many similar devastating stories over the years, its just horrific. No wonder people with learning disabilities called 2022 #leder the “spot the difference” report https://t.co/QzyXck6tpP
Another serious health condition linked to H. Pylori. More awareness is needed amongst professionals and the public. Links were also made to colorectal cancer last year.

Amazing day so far listening to so much great work going on in LD Nursing around the UK. Honoured to be given the opportunity to present this morning. #LDNSymp23
