💜 What an incredible first day at the ACPPLD Annual Learning Event!
I was honoured to speak on the impact of respiratory needs for people with learning disabilities, and I hope I gave colleagues more confidence in exploring treatment options that can truly change lives.
But what really struck me was how relevant and powerful the other sessions were:
✨ Bowel massage
✨ Osteoporosis
✨ Inequalities
✨ Thinking beyond the purely clinical
Each one challenged me to reflect. The message that kept coming through? Reasonable adjustments matter. Small, thoughtful changes can unlock the biggest impact for the people we support.
I’m heading into Day 2 inspired, energised, and ready to keep learning how, together, we can raise the bar and make a real difference.
