The UK Gov’s plans to tackle waiting times must include action to bring down long waits affecting people living with Crohn’s and Colitis, so that people like Louis don’t need emergency surgery while waiting for planned surgery. Sign today: ow.ly/tFm250TqLCT #CutTheWait

Had a lovely day travelling around North & East Antrim to clear the head. There really is no place like home

This is absolutely incredible from David Raya Martin

Great to see Katharine Macy 🏳️‍⚧️🔶 pushing her party to include more disabled people in the party & politics. It’s vitally important to make sure we have disabled voices heard & included in local politics. This is something that local political parties really needs to embrace.

Back on that never ending chronic illness wheel……..

It’s just getting old now! Please, when you’re parking, leaving ample room for wheelchairs and mobility scooters to get past and do not block drop kerbs. It’s not just an inconvenience, it also puts disabled people into potentially dangerous situations to get around on the road!

Great to see Paula McIntyre MBE back on the tv.

Important information for everyone living with #Crohns & #Colitis in #NorthernIreland

Just watched episode one of #ThePenguin It was an episode that contained a lot of substance & storyline build up. The one negative for me was how Oswald was being portrayed by Colin Farrell, I’m not won over by him yet but that may happen over upcoming episodes

One of my favourite quotes from all of the Batman movies.(the movies of the Nolan trilogy are my favourites) #BatmanDay2024

Starting the day with some Peter Kay Sian Gibson A good laugh starts the day on a positive footing.

It's #PainAwarenessMonth Crohn's and Colitis do not just affect the gut, they can cause problems in other parts of the body, called extraintestinal manifestations or EIMs. Joint problems are one of the most common types of EIM. Read more: ow.ly/XzLO50TrXFe #Crohns #Colitis

You learn something new everyday…… I had never even heard of white pudding before today. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Thanks to Age NI Policy & Engagement for this service -

Delighted to see Sian Mulholland MLA highlight this issue. A 5 week wait puts people under needless extra stress & pressure. It also drives them into debt & in some cases into the arms of shady individuals with ill intentions.

Today is hopefully the day I get answers for what’s going on with my back………🤞🏻

Our Emergency Department at Antrim Area Hospital is extremely busy today, with long waits for those whose conditions are not life-threatening. Staff are working hard to triage patients and prioritise those needing urgent care.

This is the report showing the disability price tag of £1,010 “Disability Price Tag report | Disability charity Scope UK” scope.org.uk/campaigns/disa…

Raising the minimum floor is a vital part of this especially with everyone being migrated over to UC. Add in todays research released by Scope that shows that disabled households are £1,010 worse off than other households.
