What would you do if you saw someone having a very obvious, tonic clinic #seizure? Please take time to familiarise yourself with this first aid guide. There are many other types of #epilepsy & we’re all constantly learning. #EpilepsyAwareness #PurpleDay2023 #morethanseizures

Learning Disability Awareness Week, lots of positives flying around and talk of changing attitudes but not a lot of substance IMO. So, what can you, as a professional in non specialist services learn/do? A thread.🧵

Question: Could you comment either as a patient, family member or health professional etc, where a patient/hospital passport has or hasn't been useful and why? Feel free to inbox me if preferred. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ General views also welcome. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

We couldn't agree more. What does the term actually mean? Are they simply exercising their right to make their own decision? Are they not wanting to do something in the way we want & when we want? Have we not listened them? Surely we should be exploring why they "non-compliant".

What examples have you seen that caused a patient to be described as "non-compliant"? The definition is ambiguous and welcomes abuse. It's often a sign of unwillingness in providing holistic care. There should be clear criteria for using this term, with a guide on how to manage.

* The main aim being, to support and educate non learning disability health professionals to support their patients more effectively. We will be looking for LD nurses/students to support the running of this account on either a regular or as and when basis.

We are excited to be working on a resource, co-produced and led by those who have a learning disability. We want to encourage researchers to use this group more, to be their expert patient in projects. Watch this space 🤓 @mowllsocial @PFMerseyside @LivUniIPH
