This #LDWeek we ask: “Do you see me?” 💙
@QUBLDN students are preparing for careers that break down barriers and build inclusive, person-centred care.
Learning Disability Nursing at @QUBelfast is more than a degree—it’s a calling.

A timely reminder today that England have instructed an early pay review body report for next year (25/6) to get uplift into pockets in April next year.
Meanwhile we stall, bicker and let our staff down here for this year (24/5, and it’s November!!)
What @wesstreeting says is important here, and timely the key word with an aim to apply uplifts in April.
We need @mikenesbittni to say exactly the same here and then the Dept to honour it.
We simply can’t keep being left behind.
