Great start to #DeafblindAwarenessWeek 2024 tomorrow. First, joining BCU Social Work Deafblind Studies students for a session on social-haptic communication with Riitta Lahtinen & Russ Palmer & then talking about deafblindness & the Care Act at the Deafblind UK webinar for LAs.

Delighted that @DbI_connect Acquired #Deafblindness Network webinars have been highly commended in the category ‘Best Knowledge exchange project with public/third sector’ Birmingham City University Knowledge Exchange Awards. Huge thanks to all speakers, Deafblind UK for hosting, & my ADBN co-chairs

At RESCON Birmingham City University seeing my poster printed out for the first time like a proud parent 😂

Our survey results show that service pressures in the NHS are having a knock-on effect in adult social care. We need Government to view adult social care & the NHS as interdependent, rather than separate entities. Pressures from one feed into the other. adass.org.uk/documents/adas…

So looking forward to the final webinar in this year’s series from the Acquired #Deafblindness Network. The webinar will explore parenting & acquired deafblindness from the perspectives of children & parents. Huge thanks to our speakers, @DbI_connect & Deafblind UK for hosting.
