Learning Disability Awareness Week, lots of positives flying around and talk of changing attitudes but not a lot of substance IMO. So, what can you, as a professional in non specialist services learn/do? A thread.🧵

We couldn't agree more. What does the term actually mean? Are they simply exercising their right to make their own decision? Are they not wanting to do something in the way we want & when we want? Have we not listened them? Surely we should be exploring why they "non-compliant".

Check out the video and links below to see why Makaton is so important. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Question: Could you comment either as a patient, family member or health professional etc, where a patient/hospital passport has or hasn't been useful and why? Feel free to inbox me if preferred. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ General views also welcome. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Cheers for the #FF ! Bit late to the party this week 🐌

What would you do if you saw someone having a very obvious, tonic clinic #seizure? Please take time to familiarise yourself with this first aid guide. There are many other types of #epilepsy & we’re all constantly learning. #EpilepsyAwareness #PurpleDay2023 #morethanseizures
