Who else is struggling with hayfever? You’d think I would be used to it by now but I feels it gets worse every year,. Off to a very important event, I just need to remember to wipe off the Vaseline from the bottom of my nose when I get there.

It’s nearly Learning Disability Week - Dis you know that there are roughly 1.5 Million people here in the UK that have a Learning Disability - it’s important to let both Doctors and Employers know that you have a LD - this means they can put reasonable adjustments in place

@GreatOrmondSt What a lovely story thanks to Betty for sharing it with us!

How lovely is this?💙 In honour of #DeafAwarenessWeek, GOSH patient Betty's sharing her wonderful hand-written book. Betty had Bone anchored hearing aids (BAHAs) & she currently has Osia implants. She’s keen to help other children understand what life with these aids can be like.
