Hello, did you know... I’m inviting people aged 18+ who have a Learning Disability, family members & carers in England to interviews to explore their experiences of Radiotherapy decision making, treatment & support. Web: tinyurl.com/IDandRadio Video: tinyurl.com/RTLDstudy

🩺 Annual health checks can be improved for people with a learning disability, but only 1 in 4 people with a learning disability are on the GP learning disability register, so many people miss out on health checks 6/11
🔬 People with a learning disability are less likely to take part in cancer checks: over the last five years there’s been about a 36-percentage point gap in screening rates for cervical cancer, for example 4/11
NEW REPORT. Today we have published a new report looking at five key areas that could be improved for people with a learning disability in England: ⚖️ Overweight 🔬Cancer checks 🧠 Mental health 🩺 Annual health checks 👩⚕️Finding health problems early on 1/11
News. The Nuffield Trust has published a damning report highlighting how people with a learning disability are missing out on potentially life-saving preventive healthcare because of disjointed services and poor communication. learningdisabilitytoday.co.uk/news/appalling…

A huge part of my work is about giving women access to the right information so they can make an informed decision about the care that’s right for them. I don’t mind if women choose not to take HRT if they have made their decision based on accurate and up-to-date evidence, but…

As well as likening those living with #dementia as some kind of walking dead, what does this video say about how we perceive women? That Mum is 'dead' because she can no longer cook, look pretty in colourful clothes, or provide validation and emotional support to men?
We'll be there for you. Again, and again, and again 💙
@KateLeeCEO What on earth are you doing, putting out a film that says we die every time we take a step further with dementia? This is what we all fight AGAINST. We are still living. We are still US. We still have good lives. Take it down.
🩺 Annual health checks can be improved for people with a learning disability, but only 1 in 4 people with a learning disability are on the GP learning disability register, so many people miss out on health checks 6/11
🔬 People with a learning disability are less likely to take part in cancer checks: over the last five years there’s been about a 36-percentage point gap in screening rates for cervical cancer, for example 4/11
NEW REPORT. Today we have published a new report looking at five key areas that could be improved for people with a learning disability in England: ⚖️ Overweight 🔬Cancer checks 🧠 Mental health 🩺 Annual health checks 👩⚕️Finding health problems early on 1/11
@_SarahSwindells The findings are very relevant to adults too. More soon….
