Today is #InternationalToiletDay, a day to promote sanitation and also help break taboos around toilets. The whole country of Ireland only has 15 registered @ChangingPlacesI Toilets. A Changing Place toilet is a more accessible toilet for the differently-abled? #Equality #toilet

Please don’t fall for the words of those who seek to undermine the NHS in order to profit from it. The NHS is not failing, it is being failed. Please RT if you know there is a big difference.

I don’t know what horrifies me more, what they did, the fact this “care home” was run by the National Autistic Society or what little value the CQC places on the long term trauma, no torture, inflicted here: theguardian.com/society/2019/m… please RT and spotlight this dreadful case.


Pleased to see the author tackling the elephant in the room - compassionate, safe, person-centred care may be best delivered in the hospital setting, or the community, for some of the people we work with

Incisive editorial in @TheBJPsych Bulletin on the "hospital is always bad, community is always better" approach and the parallel with "open heart surgery could be done on the kitchen table if only adequate support was available". cambridge.org/core/services/…
