The Government's answer to close the 20 year life expectancy gap for people living with learning disabilities is to move from one dataset that has changed nothing (LeDeR) to another useless dataset that will be more just confirming the evidence we already have. ACTION NOT STATS
Following significant interest in our painless blood sampling project, we are delighted to be hosting a webinar.
The webinar is open to anyone with an interest in improving accessibility and reasonable adjustments for bloodtests

Trump is utterly disgusting. Surely we cannot be far from the time when King Charles refuses to be involved in Trumpās attempts to use a significant šŗšø anniversary for his own ends. Just take today - for a US President to say āIām glad heās deadā of a man who has devoted his life to public service is beyond vile. And his endorsement of Orban (farewell any notion of not interfering in other countriesā politics) puts him in the Putin camp once more, furthering the risk to Ukraine. Add in the endless insults of @Keir_Starmer and I really think the time has come for the š to follow the Pope in being otherwise engaged .

Brilliant piece from reporter Reuben Reuter, highlighting avoidable deaths, the missing LeDeR report and the learning disability nursing crisis! Where is the outcry? Whatās in that report? How can we continue to fail this population of people so publicly, without action?

Well thereās one grim fact coming from Birmingham and Solihullās death notifications, people with a learning disability are dying younger than in
previous years. This runs deeper than just health inequalities, little wonder our region is bottom of NHS performance tables
