Today is #WorldAutismDay. Being autistic does not mean you have an illness or disease. It means your brain works in a different way. Our page has advice if you or someone you know is autistic: https://t.co/AUytg6fH3v

Many disabled women are not being screened for cervical cancer, as GP offices and medical centres often don't have hoists or other equipment to help staff lift patients onto examination tables. Lorna is campaigning to change this. Read her story https://t.co/UPM2Kqz9q5

Our new research shows almost a fifth of people who have experienced trauma say they often avoid health services. Weβre calling for a trauma card, which people can use during their NHS appointment to make it easier for them to engage with staff: https://t.co/rpy6KXw20Z

Taking your bra off at the end of the day feels great. And so does getting your breast screening sorted. It can detect cancer before you can feel it. Or more likely, put your mind at rest. So when you're invited, save the date. It could save your life. https://t.co/LK2CjwOnf1

Working together with @TheKingsFund and @NVTweeting we looked at the impact of bad #NHSAdmin.Check out the long read which looks at depth at the consequences for patients -
kingsfund.org.uk
2 out of 3 people say they've had a problem with NHS admin in the past year. We explore the impact these experiences is having on public perceptions of the NHS and what could be done to make things...
A report by the King's Fund reveals 20% of patients received an appointment letter after the date and two in three have had admin problems. So, with a move towards paperless to make things more efficient, does the NHS need to digitise faster?
