Looking forward to welcoming delegates and speakers to the #SeattleClub2024 conference King's College London this week! Main themes - health inequalities and inclusive research plus lots of other research in neurodevelopmental conditions Deborah Chinn Andre Strydom Learning from Lives and Deaths - LeDeR researchers 📃


Starting #SeattleClub2024 with Andre Strydom talking about the work of LeDeR and reducing avoidable mortality in people with intellectual disability and autistic people


What reasonable adjustments do autistic people need in healthcare? Work from Barry Ingham Jeremy Parr - gaps between what is needed and what is available/offered - could a standardised intervention help? More from #SeattleClub2024


Second day of #SeattleClub2024 starts with Jan Walmsley speaking about #inclusive #research - much has changed, inclusive research has spread, much still to do


Final session of #SeattleClub2024 - panel discussion on our theme of inclusive research. Some strong views! Thank you to all our delegates and presenters for making such a successful conference King's College London 🙌
