It’s not Downs Syndrome that stops people from doing things, it’s society’s attitudes and assumptions.
Get your odd socks on and support World Downs Syndrome Day and stop assuming people can’t do things 💙💛
A resource which I hope improves communication in healthcare and in turn reduces health inequalities. Grateful for the opportunity and very proud!

💛💙 Down’s syndrome awareness month: In 2017 @NursingTimes called for compulsory training for staff involved in prenatal screening 😢 This has never happened.
There must be an impact assessment @wesstreeting

Great to see this! @sianadcock @markpearson42 hopefully it will contribute towards better practice and communication throughout! Would love to see more Makaton in education
Colleagues within the School discuss enhancing the use of Makaton in nurse education and practice in the Nursing Standard journal. Find out more about what Makaton entails and how it can be used to aid communication with service users. journals.rcni.com/nursing-st…

It’s so nice ending the academic year hearing that I have won an award. I couldn’t be more grateful to the @UoN_SHS for their amazing support and opportunities they have presented to me whilst studying. Registered LD nurse here I come! ❤️

There are 16 million disabled people in the UK but during the six weeks of campaigning, there’s been little focus on how the main political parties are going to help them.
Ruben Reuter went to find out what they have to offer.

We are so saddened to read about the death of Isaac Onyeka last year loom.ly/9V3XURw.
It is vital that medical professionals understand the different way that sepsis may present atypically in children who have Down’s syndrome.
