Yesterday was special. Members from the TILII team @arcni joined us for a co-design session and what they shared was so rich, so valuable. Not just ideas for the app, but the reality of what life is like. Genuine co-production. Full of joy and laughter too.

We’re working on an easy-read for @BelfastTrust about breast ultrasound scans. It’s important that people with a learning disability, autism, and other support needs can understand health information. Looking after our health matters 💪💙TILII @arcni @arcnidirector
