I graduated from @UCL today with MA PPE of Health. They hadn't arranged safe wheelchair access to the stage @SouthbankCentre. They knew I'm a wheelchair user. Unlike other graduands I was awarded my degree on the floor. This discrimination is emblematic of my experience there.

April ‘22 Andrew Gwynne MP wrote this ⬇️. Here we are well over 2 years later, there are even more people with #LongCovid, #Covid19 is still rife, yet several #LongCovid clinics have closed or have cut back. The Government - in which Andrew Gwynne MP is Public Health Minister - remains silent.
