It's a busy day for the Making Positive Moves team! Annabel, Helen and Sam are at Learning Disability England conference in Manchester, and Louisa and Silvana are Research at HPFT research showcase in Hatfield!

Great presentation at Learning Disability England about why citizenship matters, from the book Everyday Citizenship. "Community is born when we help each other"

Sadie and Mel reflecting on recruiting to the DESMOND-ID diabetes study at Research at HPFT showcase. It was important to take time to build a relationship and trust prior to consent. More research visits were sometimes needed. Crucial to consider and budget for this in research.

A great presentation from Indermeet Sawhney about the impact on of an enhanced physical health clinic on improving cancer screening rates for people with learning disabilities. Further research needed particularly on cervical cancer.

We really enjoyed hearing about other Research at HPFT research and sharing our Making Positive Moves animation video and upcoming toolkit. You can watch our animation with the *wonderful* Joan here: youtu.be/Oy_bJreYte8?si… and visit our website here: makingpositivemoves.org

Great discussion at LDEngland conference today and thanks to those who shared their experiences of hospital with us. Lots of similarities with the Making Positive Moves findings.

"We heard some very powerful and emotional stories. Thank you for sharing. It was powerful how people could relate their foundations into what we were saying and how they could see how it relates to their lives and some of their experiences" Sam Prowse
