Take a look at what #pulmonaryrehabilitation looks like across Morecambe Bay! Those who complete #pulmrehab benefit from less breathlessness, can do more, walk further, feel more confident managing their lung condition & feel better! @CommRespUHMB @UHMBTCareers @MBResp

Nearly three quarters of people think a next of kin can make decisions about a partner’s medical care if needed to in an emergency. This is only true if they’re appointed with a lasting power of attorney. For more info visit: https://t.co/JHnbuy0eGy #YourVoiceYourDecision

Excellent news. I only hope that each individual condition will be treated as a priority, rather than in comorbidity as the headline suggests.

Whether you're at the shops, on public transport, at work or out with friends, a change as simple as using clear language, having a bit of patience, or avoiding last minute changes can really help. Understand autism, the person, & the change you can make https://t.co/VfUrROmGXx

There are plenty of ways to help reduce the overload for autistic people. Small changes can make a big difference. We share some simple tips here: https://t.co/1Uq9slAp9E

I wish more people understood that such small things can make a difference for autistic people. Hopefully the latest #AutismTMI campaign film will help with that 😀

Further highlighting the need for greater awareness, as there can be no acceptance in the absence of understanding.
