Just because someone cannot speak does not mean they have nothing to say. People without words have plenty to say. #LDWeek18 #loudervoice Louder Voice

More evidence of the desperate and chilling lack of reflection and humility in medical practice.

This is a much needed training area for community care! Thanks @LWU_LearnWithUs

Selling off the NHS! This has been happening for years already 😩

Hot news from Steven's supported living community placement. He & the support worker are baking a cake. Is that participation? Co-production? Involvement? Or 2 blokes making a cake?

Pleased to be at BILD #AgeingWellLD2019 conference and hearing about how to help people with LD love longer healthy lives 😁

Sharing good practice today. St Anne's Community Services have developed our health care package to support people with learning disabilities. Looking forward to working with colleagues. #AgeingWellLD2019 #bild Skills for Care #LearningDisability

Admission by Priory senior manager Priory in the ITV #exposure doc that profit target for the month was £253k and Ticehurst only made £54k profit is a damning indictment of a health facility already understaffed! Matt Hancock profit in mental health is inappropriate.

I've just read about young people in transition apparently aspiring to go to day centre. This has to be wrong. A service is a style of delivery it is not a career, friend, skill, etc. ' Supported living' doesn't describe a community. 'Day centre' doesn't describe a life.
