Welcome to the team Emma 😊

Alexis Quinn. An absolute hero! "Dwelling on difference. From BEHAVIOURS of concern to ENVIRONMENTS of concern" Well said! ❤️ @capbsuk

Fantastic first day at #IPBSConf24 - so many great speakers and presentations! Given me a lot to take back down south with me… and plenty of free pens!!! @BILD_tweets @capbsuk

Challenging behaviour - why do we use this term? #selfadvocacyworks #ipbsconf24

Whose problem is it? Keynote from Linda Bambara, discussing why Neurodivergant people hate ABA & PBS. @capbsuk #IPBSConf24

Thankyou @DarrenBowring for highlighting the importance of addressing inequalities when thinking about PBS! Really showcases the role of the nurse in PBS #IPBSConf24

Thankyou Matty for sharing your story and your experiences! Shows us how what we say and how we say it can make such a difference! #IPBSConf24 @DvcDudley

On my way to #IPBSConf24 - 4 hours down, 3 to go! @BILD_tweets @capbsuk

Booked my workshops for #IPBSConf24! Really looking forward to hearing some great speakers and seeing what great initiatives I can bring to my home county! @BILD_tweets @capbsuk

@samabdulla @QUBLDN Attended Positive Commitments today and it was fantastic as always! I’ll always hold Positive Choices in my heart from my student days though! Hope it all goes well!!

Great talk on acute LD liaison and the importance of their role. Looking forward to hearing more of the great strides of LD nursing. #Positivecommitment #LDnursing

Sensory rooms in the emergency depts seen as good practice and giving LD patients a better experience and good outcomes #positivecommitment #LDNursing #LDLiaision

A local image that paints a national picture. #positivecommitments2024

A very interesting morning already hearing about the exciting steps that LD Nursing is taking nationally. Thanks @laurencetaggart for your information and the research into diabetes education. #LDNursing #PositiveCommitment2024

Very excited to begin our journey to Positive Commitments tomorrow - my first as an RNLD! #PCC24 #PositiveChoices @LDLiaisonTeamIW

Misty start LD liaison is heading to the mainland for planning and identifying priorities for the acute LD liaison in HIOW. Exciting developments coming for the acute hospital teams in supporting LD patients @rachael_middle @WeLDnurses #TeamIOWNHS @dhavard_sldn @IOWNHS

@jade_w08 @RCNNRN I don’t feel that ‘neurodisability’ fits with the client group that I support. It’s too much of an umbrella term and would only further confuse the ‘difficulty v disability’ terminology. I do think that ‘intellectual disability’ to fit with the rest of the world could happen

@RCNNRN @dhs_rnld 🤔 what's your thoughts

Interesting thought. Do you think the name of LD nurses should be changed to neurodiversity nurse? #RCNNRN

We did it! COVID Cohort now all in blue 💙💙💙@RyanHGlynn @sarahlkent3
