One of these days I'll dig out the photo but my favourite #duvetknowitschristmas ever was my 1 month old twin brothers sleeping in drawers (pulled out & on the floor!) at my Grandma’s house 40yrs ago…

Work done ✔️Lovely few days spent with Mum ✔️ Food shop done & pressies wrapped ✔️ Off to Crisis Christmas warehouse tmrw to help with set up, Xmas drinky with the girls, then 3 days in my PJs and eating my own body weight in cheese. See you on the other side…❄️🎄🎁

Date for your diary - our next webinar will be held 1 Feb 2024 @ 1230. Stuart Hasler died in 2020 and the staff that supported him will be sharing his story including how he, as a man with a LD, was able to plan for EOL and how professionals were able to work together to help.

⚠️'Someone is better than no one' is not a workforce plan
⚠️Pressuring those who raise concerns is bullying
⚠️Public hand wringing when things go wrong but not changing anything to stop them going wrong again is beyond poor practice.

And that’s a wrap on term 1 (almost). Some great work on supporting people with a learning disability and long term conditions from our Sep 22 direct entry #NursingAssociate students this PM. Now to relax and tie up some loose ends next week before the Xmas break

New guest post by The Victoria & Stuart Project is now up on the KSSLDCOP blog - looking for participants to test their resources supporting people to talk about death & dying
