youtu.be/vwno19sZAl0 people with learning do often face abuse when using public transport. That’s not right. Here’s what to do when you go On the Buses

People talk a good game about supporting social care workers. Sacha Lord actually does something. Great NYE had by PossAbilities staff at The Warehouse Project because of free tickets sent by Sacha. Done more for social care than the other 784 Lords put together

Just another day at the office PossAbilities

We knew that slogans and promises of a brighter future wouldn’t help our staff through a difficult Christmas. That’s why we gave nearly 600 of them a £1000 gift voucher. This is what it means to them #possabilities #christmas #socialcare #gift Rachel Law

An experienced care worker gets £1 per hour less than a newly recruited NHS healthcare assistant. We have to address the issue of pay urgently as we face a system wide crisis not just a care crisis. We pay carers < checkout staff ⁦😔 Rachel Law⁩ apple.news/AclqtfA0FRlCJ4…

To all #radiologists .
Have you seen the typical #COVID pulmonary vasculopathy on CXR/CT in the last week?
We've not seen this since omicron became dominant Feb '22. I'm concerned we have a new variant which causes the same clotting in the lungs as delta/pre-delta.

Could a solution be to properly fund social care; more money to councils to pay social care workers a decent wage? This isn’t an ambulance problem or an acute hospital problem - it’s a social care crisis rapidly deteriorating & can go only 1 way without urgent Govt intervention.

Outraged!! Come on #airlines #manchesterairport we in social care have been through the same as you. We got ourselves sorted and made sure the people we care for were looked after. You need to take a long hard look in the mirror #socialcare
