💡Icon of the Week: Airway Diseases
On World COPD Day, we’re highlighting that people with a learning disability are more likely to experience airway diseases, including COPD. Early diagnosis and support matter.

Closing the day with words from Dr Satheesh Gangadharan 💬
“Most people see involving people with learning disabilities in research as a problem – but we have turned that around.”
A powerful way to end today’s event.

A brilliant end to Amy, Sarah & Heidi’s talk 👏
They shared a practical PPI toolkit for involving people with learning disabilities in health research.
Such an important resource for making research more inclusive.

‼️This is a terrifying possibility: by 2028 there may not be any newly qualified learning disability nurses‼️
If we lose this training, we lose expert advocates for some of the most vulnerable people in society. This is a crisis we can't afford to ignore. #LDNursingMatters

🌍 Social History of Learning Disabilities Conference – 10/06/25
History is not just something we study: it’s something we listen to, feel & carry forward into action.
Let’s keep challenging assumptions & centring voices that have too often been ignored #SHLD2025 @DECODEproject2

💥 From Research to Reality💥
Insightful conference about current MLTC’s research, topics which are likely to affect us all.
@AmyWilkins_SLT and I got to contribute a human element amongst all the data.
And of coarse lovely to spend time with the @DECODEproject2 team.

LPT clinicians have helped hospitals predict how long patients with learning disabilities will need inpatient care, which in turn may help them plan better and more personalised care.
The findings have been published in Frontiers in Digital Health. More: lboro.ac.uk/media-centre/pre…
