Action Cerebral Palsy

Absolutely delighted to be in Westminster yesterday with Bert Martin to join our colleagues @upmovement_cp, in calling for annual health reviews for all adults with cerebral palsy. #CerebralPalsy #CPisLifelong #Disability

Today, the Health and Social Care Committee published its long-awaited report on its Inquiry into the First 1000 Days. It highlights the UK has some of the worst health outcomes for young children in Europe. buff.ly/1vLmoa9

@NIHR_ARC_NENC @NIHRresearch @AnnaBasu1 @ways2wellnessUK This is a brilliant initiative which needs to be replicated for all families.

Fantastic to see our evaluation of the SPACE pilot - which offers hospital-based social prescribing for children & their families, highlighted in the latest annual report from @NIHRresearch. Every £1 spent on the scheme returned £2.75 in benefits. @AnnaBasu1 @ways2wellnessUK

🙋🏽‍♂Take part in research and use your voice to change care 🙋🏽‍♀. This survey focuses on reviews or investigations that take place when a baby experiences harm, or when a baby dies. Take part by Monday 12 May. Regardless of whether you are aware or not whether you had a review or investigation, please consider taking part. Bliss, alongside many other organisations, have been supporting a study we’d love you to take part in if you can. It’s being led by Manchester and Oxford universities and we’re on the advisory group. Researchers want to know about your experiences if their baby was harmed in NHS care after January 1st 2019 in England. Your voice can lead to change. uom.link/matrepsurvey
