This Saturday, the Paralympic Movement turns 75 years old. On 29th July 1948, the first ever Stoke Mandeville Games took place. Do you know someone or did you compete at one of the early Paralympic Games? If so, we'd love to hear from you, share with us your stories! 📚

Thanks to the vision of Ludwig Guttmann 75 years ago, we have a vibrant movement changing the lives of disabled people globally. From small acts great things can happen if they are purposeful and caring.

This is an NHS trust advertising for a non doctor to be employed on the consultant on-call rota. I’m unclear if this is due to the national shortage of consultants in so many medical specialities, or an attempt to save money, but how can this possibly not risk patient safety?

I leave Latvia more proud than ever of the Paralympic community in Europe. After lots of discussion over the last months, EPC Members came together formally in Riga, continued an open and constructive dialogue and agreed a consensus.
