People with a learning disability are more likely to have life threatening problems if their constipation is not treated. Help them get seen promptly by the GP team to avoid preventable deaths.

Constipation for people with a learning disability can be harmful if it’s not treated. To avoid preventable deaths, make sure people with a learning disability who have symptoms of constipation are seen by their GP team.

'Hydrotherapy isn’t a luxury — it’s a lifeline for many people with long-term pain, disability or chronic conditions'.

Hydrotherapy service closures are becoming more common. @ashjamesphysio speaks to ITV News London about the detrimental impact on patients.

Things my mental illness sometimes stops me doing..

• picking up the phone
• leaving the house
• eating healthy
• exercising
• laughing
• doing my hair or makeup
• getting dressed

Sometimes being able to do one of these things is a victory.

It's Learning Disability Week 17-23 June.

This year's theme is "Do you see me?"

We're calling on members to challenge the barriers people with a learning disability face

Last year we shared a selection of tools from @ACPPLD: https://t.co/54bBYwCdIx

@anxious_sam800 Hi Sam, good to hear your day has been alright. I just struggling with my mood not being stable, trying to do basics and look after myself but would just like a break at the moment #NotAloneTalk

[Heather Wesson @hattielw]

@thegrumpyloaf Thank you and enjoy rest of evening and weekend #NotAloneTalk

[Heather Wesson @hattielw]

@thegrumpyloaf That’s a good selection, I defiantly prefer to watch those sports. ☺️ #NotAloneTalk

[Heather Wesson @hattielw]

@thegrumpyloaf Well if you don’t enjoy then I say do something you do enjoy doing. There’s lots of different sports or activities to get involved in. I don’t enjoy running in heat #NotAloneTalk

[Heather Wesson @hattielw]

@thegrumpyloaf Thank you ☺️ #NotAloneTalk

[Heather Wesson @hattielw]

@thegrumpyloaf 1.45 is my best time but I not close to this at moment but taking positive I back running at the moment times will come when ready to race again . 2hurs is a decent time for a half. #NotAloneTalk

[Heather Wesson @hattielw]

@thegrumpyloaf I hoping to go for a swim, I enjoy doing outdoor swimming so keeping fingers crossed #NotAloneTalk

[Heather Wesson @hattielw]

@thegrumpyloaf 1/2 marathon is my favourite distance to race but will race up to and including marathon. #NotAloneTalk
