There isn’t an “epidemic” of autism. The change is largely down to improved diagnoses and different labels. And, oh, vaccines don’t cause autism.

Findings indicate 38.8% of deaths reviewed in 2023 were classed as avoidable. A notable reduction from previous years but still almost double the 21.6% in the total adult population. Chapter 1 details: kcl.ac.uk/ioppn/assets/p… #LeDeR Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience

I never had any doubts Malcolm- it's you and TeamMIEEScotland that keep me going.

Julie Bindel Sharron Davies MBE The Telegraph My Mum lost a stone in weight last year after a nasty fall and 6 weeks in hospital. She needs a special soft diet - all in her notes, several conversations with staff, sister, consultant etc unless we were constantly on their case they forgot almost daily about it, she was hungry

I heard an academic speak of #history. He said that we must study history because history doesn’t stay behind us. It got me thinking of the importance of embedding the history of health & social care in nursing curriculum but also the valuable oral history we must hear & share.

Like the Bill in Westminster, this is not really about choice. If it were, efforts would be made to give terminally ill people real choice - by offering adequate palliative care.

Please re-Tweet if you agree: Caregiving isn’t always a choice. But how you give care and how it changes what you value in life, those are choices. #dementia #Alzheimers #mentalhealth #autism #caregiving #quote

You’re right: social care is skilled work. Which makes it indefensible that unpaid carers are expected to do it 24/7 for nothing & then step back in again when the paid help is unsafe or unskilled. We save the state around £190bn a yr. Many of us pay with our health Wes Streeting

The hardest part of caring isn’t the care — it’s the constant rotation of professionals and having to re-explain everything from scratch. The Groundhog Day of advocacy. Some days I could just pre-record myself and press play. It’s the repetition that wears you down.

An unpaid carer with no sleep is seen as “not coping”. A paid carer with no sleep is seen as lacking something they’re entitled to. Same human need. Only the unpaid one is blamed

People with learning disabilities remain hospital inpatients after 5pm, they aren’t discharged & readmitted at 9am Yet LD expertise often ends at office hours, with too few nurses and many off-site Pain, illness -safeguarding risk continue 24/7 Why not LD support Wes Streeting🪡

I don’t normally swear, but this needs it. The idea that people with learning disabilities are “looked after by the hospital” so PIP is reduced and Carer’s Allowance stopped is the biggest load of bollocks — and the biggest lie and insult to unpaid carers.
