@lynnewalsall @WeLDnurses It is wonderful to see universities embedding the new Core and Essential Service Standards for Supporting People with PMLD into their curriculums! #WeLDNs #PMLDchat we salute you! Download for free from pmldlink.org.uk
Most certainly, support often requires specialist support but not always a nursing service - which is sometimes the case, resources poorly allocated for these people - no interest or understanding from commissioners #pmldchat #welnds
That people with #pmld need to eb valued as individuals, and while health and posture needs are important, we need to understand the person - that takes time and proper rapport building and listening #pmldchat #welnds
Yes, and often battle with medical professionals, who think the person cannot cope with further interventions - and give up, need good advocacy from people who know what potential the person has #PMLDchat #weldns
Did an article from our current issue stand out to you? #pmldchat What would you like to see more of?
After listening to @SazBrisdion on @theJeremyVine today you may want to sign this petition? Scroll to 1hr 6mins into Jeremy's show to find out more Change Building Regulations to Make Changing Places Toilets Compulsory - Sign the Petition! chn.ge/2lsSLBF via @UKChange
Congratulations @rayjjames @Crouchendtiger7 @HilaryGarratt on your Honours List Awards. Please use your influence in 2018 to promote new #PMLD Core & Essential Service Standards, for a largely overlooked people in social/health care and inclusion - see @PMLDlink
A great segment @theJeremyVine. As a society we talk the talk of accessibility, inclusion and valuing ALL people. It's time to walk the walk. Businesses and government must put their money where their mouths are and provide accessible toilets. #LooAdvent
Did you know about the Carousel Project #carouselproject ow.ly/JoNq30gTsi4
@BBCRadio2 now Jeremy Vine @SazBrisdion talking @CP_Consortium @will_clark84 @claire80lomas @closomatuk @AvesoCP @iHUSChangingPla @MobilooUK @PressalitCare @AstorBannerman @Kingkraft26D @MigLoo4U @waitrose @Tesco @inclusivehome @Morrisons @JohnLewisRetail
Feeling very emotional listening to the stories on @theJeremyVine show on @BBCRadio2 . May this be the final year where I am pleading for my son to be accepted in the world. All he needs is usable toilet facilities.
