Weekend social for the @WWL_LDTeam at Rivington

Yes I will cry tears of joy every week that Ellie remains in strictly! A mythbuster and a queen! #strictly

Findings indicate 38.8% of deaths reviewed in 2023 were classed as avoidable. A notable reduction from previous years but still almost double the 21.6% in the total adult population. Chapter 1 details: https://t.co/4cu1VsaOv8 #LeDeR @KingsIoPPN

📢 The new LeDeR report is now available. The 2023 annual report analyses the deaths of 3,556 people with a learning disability & autistic people who died in 2023. The work is part of efforts to reduce health inequalities. Access here: https://t.co/4cu1VsaOv8 #LeDeR @KingsIoPPN

This summer we have been celebrating Jill and Mike's 50th Birthdays and their combined 50 years working in the Community Learning Disability Team. Congratulations. #Big50 #WWLNHS

Taking our model head out with me today to support patients understanding of what's happening with their muscles when they eat and drink #mysltday

Last Myth of the day. Myth Number 5 MYTH: Learning Disability Teams should meet all the health needs of everyone with a Learning Disability REALITY: People should be supported, with reasonable adjustments, to access mainstream services wherever possible.

Well done to Sarah Baybutt for winning WWL Community Division, Employee of the Month. A colleague who definitely gives 100%.....

Team breakfast this morning with our monthly team meeting #mysltday

A great opportunity to further improve skills, knowledge and practice for our LD population around such an important topic....

Due to another successful promotion (well done Kate!), we have a band 5 to 6 development post in the learning disability SLT team in Wigan. Suitable for NQPs right through to established band 6s. #mySLTday https://t.co/mDkM2RltP6

This week marks 10 years in the NHS, 10 years in the @WWL_LDTeam and more recently @WWLACSLT. Thankful for a brilliant bunch of colleagues who make me want to stay another 10 years.

Another of our Autistic experts describes his experience as: "We are all bicycles. Some are road bikes, some are mountain bikes.. but I am a penny-farthing. Bike sheds aren't made for me so I get stuck on the outside."

A quote that I learned from an autistic colleague on our Oliver McGowan training days- and I now use this regularly #autismawarenessday

Another busy day delivering Oliver McGowan training to @WWLNHS staff #OliversCampaign

An opportunity for a band 6 community learning disability nurse (30 hours/week) post within the behavioural support part of the team- see the link below.

Spent the afternoon reflecting on 2024 with the Community LD Team. We talked about what we are ready to leave behind and what we want to achieve in 2025. Then we played some silly games and took them very seriously! #mysltday

This week we received a lovely message from one of our fantastic day opportunities in the borough. They're a team who are consistently raising the bar and finding ways for people with learning disabilities to achieve their goals and have fun along the way

Hi #slpeeps has anyone worked out a way to fund subscription based AAC (@proloquo2go) via NHS funding streams? We are lucky to have a funding policy via our ICB for single purchases but unclear how a subscription model fits into this #mysltday @AceCentre could you share please?
