Delighted to join Inclusion Scotland in #Aberdeen to discuss #OurPriorities and the issues most important to #disabled people locally and nationally. Could only stay for half a day but looking forward to seeing the follow-up and what happens next
Hi Disability News Service your book The Department due on 20/8 will be of Keen interest to disable ppl, esp. on benefits. Yet I'm shocked to find no record of availability as an audiobook so blind or partially cited people like me can enjoy the same access. Can you advise if this is true?
Thoroughly enjoyed Here You Come Again, the new Dolly Parton musical Aberdeen Performing Arts inc lunch at The Terrace restaurant. Audio description via Sennheiser mobileconnect worked perfectly and it was great to use my own comfy headphones for the 1st time. Thanks to staff for everything
We have comfort food, so is there such a thing as comfort tech? Still battling migraine from yesterday so ensconced in a dark corner setting up my new Samsung UK #GalaxyWatchUltra. Love it so far. I obviously make a very bad 'do nothing' patient.
Grateful to be recommended for laser surgery to correct PCO in both eyes. When depends on NHS Grampian waiting lists. Should make my vision brighter and give me a bit longer w/ some limited but useful eyesight for some tasks e.g. orientation and location awareness.
Proud to be part of the NHS Grampian #RaceforRecipients team taking part in this year's step challenge in aid of organ donation. The challenge runs until 29 September. Every step counts, no matter your fitness level. Join Or keep track at raceforrecipients.com
Pleased to accept the invite to the civic reception at the Town House yesterday to celebrate Aberdeen Airport βοΈ 90th anniversary. As cochair of the airport's accessibility forum I also congratulate all staff for their fantastic work & partnership in enhancing access & inclusion for all
Cannot thank NHS Grampian staff at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary out patient eye department enough for the fantastic service and treatment received during my eye surgery earlier. I felt in the best of hands throughout and will be adding a comment on CareOpinion to match. Brilliant!
Delighted to join the BBC Debate Night live audience in #Aberdeen for last night's show and contribute to the conversation on equity and the welfare state. I was one of at least 2 #visuallyimpaired people there. Great experience and thought provoking. Thanks
Thisvweek 5 drivers licensed by Bradford Council cancelled multiple taxi bookings over 2 days only after learning i am registered #blind and requested sighted guidance. Same MO each time and within 2 mins of pickup. Is this just a culture of #discrimination or poor training?
Delighted to join C-PICTURE project colleagues from University of Dundee and University of Aberdeen to present on the benefits of public and patient partner involvement based on my own lived experience at the Healthy Working Lives Group PPIE conference in Glasgow. Thanks to all for some thought-provoking pitches too.
Enjoyed the 1st ever ScotTargetShooting para event w/ #visuallyimpaired acoustic rifle #shooting in #Edinburgh last weekend inc benchrest & prone. The gold medal was a pleasant surprise. Thanks so much to staff and coaches and can't wait for the next one.
Pleased to join NHS Grampian staff for delicious & authentic Eid ul Fitr lunch yesterday, showing solidarity w/ our Muslim colleagues & sharing their joy as they celebrate the end of another Ramadhan. A great event promoting equality & tearing down barriers Aberdeen City HSCP STV News
I admit it π on what was a busy day i fell for the Flightradar24 #concorde gag yesterday. Realised it only after clocking the mach reading. I was so looking forward to tracking a supersonic jet long haul and downloading the CSV log output..
