As an #ActuallyAutistic CQC employee it is great to see this published. People in primary care need to understand & reduce the barriers that sometimes mean autistic people find it difficult to use services.

@DwrCymru Done thanks Leah

[Laura Picton @LauraPharma]

Hi @DwrCymru is it the landlords responsibility to let you know if their rental property is occupied? My daughter in a student house in Swansea has had a letter saying you think the house is empty. They are paying for water and sewerage in their rent. Thanks.

Like many others, I’ve set up a Mastodon account today…..as, well, you know 🙄 No idea what I’m doing over there but finding some like minded folk @[email protected]

[Laura Picton @LauraPharma]

@PaulaMc007 Pharmacy professionals (more roles than just pharmacist) will be able to access this training. I’m hoping this will improve access, experience and outcomes for autistic people. Pharmacy have been the main drivers of #StompStamp

This is so relevant to some of my work at the moment. Experience of #ActuallyAutistic people in #healthcare. @CareQualityComm report this week into experiences of autistic people in acute hospital. https://t.co/SvGh34Pxi1

[Seb Shaw @Autistic_Doc]

Check out some of our publications in the comments here. I really do hope they resonate with people in validating the very real struggles we face both within the medical system and when trying to access the medical system for support/help. /3

Right. As a heavy tweeter/content creator who is now maintaining BOTH a Twitter and Mastodon presence, here is a short guide to what I have set up, how to do it and lessons I've learned, for others.

TLDR: It's been WAY less hassle than I expected thanks to tips from followers /1

Today’s CQC report 'Who I am matters' is compelling reading. A stark reminder that people with a learning disability and autistic people in hospital need more help accessing personalised information and timely healthcare #patientvoice#patientsafety #learningdisability#autism

[Laura Picton @LauraPharma]

Very proud to have played a part in this report. More needs to be done - better communication, involvement of people and adjustments so autistic people & people with a learning disability receive safe care in hospital #PatientSafety #ActuallyAutistic

[Care Quality Commission @CareQualityComm]

Read our report "Who I Am Matters" on experiences of being in hospital for people with a learning disability and autistic people.

If you've been newly prescribed a medicine for a long term medical condition #AskYourPharmacist about the New Medicine Service. Your pharmacist will explain how the medicine works in your body, discuss any side effects and answer your questions.

[Care Quality Commission @CareQualityComm]

The "Who I am Matters" report will be published tomorrow.

Who I am Matters is a report on the experiences of care for people with a learning disability and autism whilst in hospital.
