Great ideas Sue! Switching notifications off on your phone is a real game changer!
@UoN_SHS Close the doors if you can, switch off notifications on your phone (absolutely vital) and use the sleep button on your computer… all work for me but the most important thing is having to support of colleagues at all levels to do those things ❤️

This is a great idea Ade! Helps to get some steps in throughout the day too!
@UoN_SHS "Walk to work" at the start of the day, then "walk home" at the end - even if you only walk around the block a couple of times, it helps bookend the working day. Plus it's a bit of exercise and fresh air, which can only be good!

URGENT. Anyone in the LD community or any Covid Drs know how we can get oxygen into my sister. We cannot sedate her enough to get nasal cannula/cpap mask on her & I can’t believe she’s the only Learning disabled person to not tolerate masks. Or maybe she is??

After sharing with you all that Frances now has COVID - I wrote this piece for the @Telegraph I’d love it if you’d read it 🙏💚 I absolutely LOVE this photo of the two of us DJing at the festival my mum set up for people with Learning Disabilities🌟 https://t.co/SOIleKgBTs

Vulnerable and in a care home, Jo Whiley’s disabled sister was always at high risk if she contracted Covid – now she has tested positive

@jowhiley Just devastating. It’s not just that many people with learning disabilities are missing from the priority list. Even some people who are on the list (like Frances in group 4) are still waiting. Why??

We cant boast about a world-beating programme until we vaccinate those most likely to die. 🙏 @theipaper for asking me to write. Please also see @ciarale01 tweets. Thinking of Frances this morning @jowhiley #SEND #LearningDisability

Elvi has learning disabilities which make her 30 times more likely to die of Covid-19, yet our 'world-leading' vaccination programme did not prioritise her

Well said Richard! What an important piece. What happened to Jo Whiley's sister Frances (or rather, what didn't happen - no vaccine) is just dreadful and beyond comprehension @jowhiley Well done @BBCNews and @FoxNikkiFox for keeping this on the agenda
My marvellous new colleague Richard Keagan-Bull @derwem interviewed by @FoxNikkiFox for @BBCNews this evening 6pm and 10pm. Message: all people with learning disabilities in group homes should get the vaccine @jowhiley @Cleggins82 @RESEARCH_KUSGUL

This story makes the case for why all people with a learning disability should be prioritised now for vaccine.

The DJ says she has been offered a Covid jab before her sister, who has a learning disability.
