People who have Down syndrome usually have a learning disability. This is different in each person. 1 in every 800 babies will be born with Down syndrome. Down syndrome occurs naturally – there is no known cause. #WorldDownSyndromeDay #ImproveOurSystems #LOTSOFSOCKS

Welcome to Jasim, our new volunteer on the team at KGH.Jasim has been sharing reminiscence cards with our patients, and they’ve loved the cards and the time he gives each week. Thank you, Jasim, for your dedication.

Next week is the start of Dementia Action Week. Here’s a sneak peek of what we have planned. We hope to see as many of you at the planned events across both sites 🦋

Come and see the Dementia Team and Alzheimer's Society in the Gazebo outside Queens Hospital today as we support Dementia Action Week - we'd love to have a chat and share more with you.

Happy Learning Disability Week 2025! To kick-start the week, we begin with our reasonable adjust for Monday, which would be about the Learning Disability Hospital Passport where it will give you invaluable information how to support someone in hospital.

Today we had our “Do you see me?”: LD transition conference at KGH Education Centre. It was a brilliant session delivered by our internal and external speakers who are all passionate on the work that they do in supporting Transition of young people into adult services. Amazing!⭐️

2nd day for LD week 2025 and our reasonable adjustment of the day is offering first or last appointment of the day. This adjustment allows for a less overwhelming experience, improving their ability to engage with the appointment and receive appropriate care.

We have set up a stall at Queen’s Hospital today as part of Learning Disability Week 2025 to promote Hospital passports for people with a learning disability as well as easy read resources that may support them in their journey in our hospitals.
