Here’s my payslip as a first year doctor in 2005, next to a first year doctor colleague’s in 2023. 18 years later, their take home salary is less than mine was. I lived for free in hospital accommodation and had a fraction of their student loan. #JuniorDoctorsStrike

To me, my severely disabled daughter is unique, interesting, loving, joyful & absolutely equal to anyone else. What she is not is second rate, second class, a burden, not worth the time or money. I'll never ever be on the same page as anyone who sees her in this way. #MyGirl

It has been an honour to be guest editor for the latest issue of @VIEWdigital which looks at #deaf issues. I hope this shines a light on the many reasons why a #SignLanguage Act is needed in Northern Ireland & ways in which we can work together to break down barriers.

Our latest issue of VIEW looks at the world of deaf people in Northern Ireland. A big thanks to all those who made this edition possible, including our fantastic guest editor @BronaghByrneQUBviewdigital.org/latest-issue-o…

Yesterday the EU agreed to extend the grace period on chilled meat and proposed permanent mitigations on medicine, guide dogs, insurance green cards and livestock. Today Lord Frost accused the EU of inflexibility in an Irish Times opinion piece. You couldn’t make it up, really.

Excellent thread from our colleagues @WeAreMACS about street clutter. Pandemic recovery for some cannot be at the exclusion of others.

A thread on #StreetClutter: The latest @DEScotTweets poll of members found that 96% found it difficult to navigate in town/city centres due to clutter. Use of space for outdoor seating for hospitality has lead some places to lack of space for users of mobility aids 🦽1/7

On @BBCnireland @consumerlinda 'On Your Behalf' re @NIPSO_Comms @MargaretKellyNI PIP Report 'For me the most damning aspect is the finding that PIP claimants put at "systemic disadvantage". So in other words the odds are stacked against sick and disabled people from the outset'

While we await a Covid vaccine decision from the JCVI, hear mum Sue's impassioned plea for clearer guidance for protecting high-risk children and the urgent need to give vulnerable kids a licensed jab soon. Without it, thousands of families will be forced to remain in lockdown.

What better way to celebrate #LDArtWeek than with a visit from @makatonlucinda? ❤️ They're here to share the #Makaton sign for 'to create.' 🎨 It's the same sign for 'to model' as well! 😮 Thanks Lucinda and Nikki for clearing that up!👌 Why not try some Makaton too? 🙂
