#Oliverscampaign I have a feeling that today is going to be a good day.

#Oliverscampaign This is shameful & still @CareQualityComm rated them as good Under-fire NHS trust @NELFT recorded patient ate breakfast 3 days AFTER he died In the last decade 30 prevention of future deaths reports from coroners have mentioned NELFT www.bbc.com/news/article...

#Oliverscampaign Oliver should be sleeping safely in his own bed, instead he lays in a grave This #learningdisability2025 let's stop these horrendously preventable deaths due to inequality of health care, ignorance, diagnostic overshadowing, bias & prejudice

#Oliverscampaign #LearningDisabilityWeek2025 It's learning disability week How many people with LD feel they are seen, heard & & valued? Not many The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on learning disability & autism for health/care staff will change that youtu.be/ouhKSOGm49g?...

#Oliverscampaign A 22-year-old nursery worker has been convicted of abusing 21 babies, including kicking one little boy in the face and stepping on his shoulder. www.bbc.com/news/article...

#Oliverscampaign It really is good to see the first glimmers of improvements in our NHS We all know there is a very long way to go, but this really is a positive step forwards especially when it is too often backwards Well done @wesstreeting www.bbc.com/news/article...

#Oliverscampaign This awful Come on @NHSEngland we must do better An inquest concluded that Declan Morrison, 26, died from catastrophic injuries in the detention suite which should only have been used for 48 hours www.itv.com/news/anglia/...

#Oliverscampaign This story hurts my heart There really are some cruel monsters in this world Parents are demanding answers over how a paedophile was able to abuse dozens of disabled & special educational needs children www.bbc.com/news/article...

#Oliverscampaign This story really is shocking A doctor admitted having an evolving friendship with the girl, which began when she was a 13 year old patient at Bristols Childrens Hospital www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol...

#Oliverscampaign My goodness! A nurse jailed for murdering four elderly patients has been told he faces a wait to find out the outcome of his appeal against his convictions www.bbc.com/news/article...

#Oliverscampaign The reality of this story is that the GMC accepted this woman's obvious fraudulent qualifications How many patients has this criminal been allowed to harm as a consequence? www.bbc.com/news/article...

Excited for the launch of our RCNf funded careLeD tool; co-designed resorces to help people with learning disabilities access urgent and emergency care. Use the QR to reserve your ticket. #careLeD #ReducingInequalities @rcnfoundation.bsky.social @oliverscampaign.bsky.social @ldengland.bsky.social

#Oliverscampaign What type of parent would ever give their autistic child bleach? What type of low life would encourage parents to do this? www.independent.co.uk/news/health/...

#Oliverscampaign This is another tragic & avoidable death in a very young neurodivergent person What IS refreshing & incredibly rare is to have two doctors saying they got things wrong & have learned from their mistakes @NewcastleHosps www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-e...

#Oliverscampaign Over the last few days, I have received several concerning messages about the future of LeDeR It would be an absolute outrage if what I am being told is true @AliveLeder @wesstreeting

#OliversCampaign Every child should be valued equally from the moment they are born. Yet, when a child is born with medical needs or a disability, society too often sees them as a burden. Tragically, the evidence we see throughout their lives only reinforces this painful truth.

#Oliverscampaign This is the jaw-dropping type of prejudice that #autistic people face #AuDHD #AutismAwareness

#Oliverscampaign This is terrible Two men with paranoid schizophrenia stabbed members of the public in separate attacks weeks before Valdo Calocane's killings in Nottingham – and all were under the care of the same NHS trust @nottmhospitals www.bbc.com/news/article...

#OliversCampaign Yesterday began in a tough place, but a heartening meeting with Minister Stephen Kinnock turned it around. He shared some exciting news about Oliver’s training that will be announced soon. @SKinnock has done the training himself and continues to show heartfelt commitment

#Oliverscampaign #Cancer Darn it, blooming cancer. I was just drying my hair and noticed a large amount of long hair caught in my brush. I was warned it could thin or fall out, but it still hits hard when it actually happens.

#Oliverscampaign This was the last video that Oliver McGowan shared with us. I can vividly remember him on the morning that he went into hospital, showing us the video and laughing at it. This really did reflect Oliver's sense of humour youtu.be/9LCy7a_rnSA?...

#Oliverscampaign I have to be really honest & say that I definitely don't get as much traction on @bluesky as I do on #Twitter Am I doing something wrong or this really is it #bluesky

#Oliverscampaign @NHSEngland has published its Patient safety healthcare inequalities reduction framework designed to address unfair & avoidable differences in patient safety outcomes across population groups Olivers story has been included in appendix 1 www.england.nhs.uk/long-read/pa...

#OliversCampaign I’m over the moon to share some exciting news I’m going to be a Grandma for the first time to identical twin girls As an identical twin myself, this feels especially magical. These precious little ones will be the first set of twins in our family in 60 years

#Oliverscampaign Certain photographs of Oliver catch my breath. He was so pure, so innocent, and so loved

#Oliverscampaign It appears to me that there is something very broken about LeDeR @AliveLeder submitted their report to NHSE over five months ago BUT NHSE has NOT released it One can't help asking WHY is there something they don't want us to see @ClaireCNWL can you help

#Oliverscampaign Grief is a natural response to losing a child—the greatest loss of all. We don’t stop loving or missing them or wondering if they can still see and hear us. It’s okay to grieve, to feel sadness, and to miss them every moment. That’s normal.

#Oliverscampaign Today, two years ago, I was awarded my OBE (Oliver Behind Everything) Prince William made the mistake of asking me about #Oliverscampaign, I think everyone, including his staff, was shocked at the amount of time he chatted to me It was such a memorable day

#Oliverscampaign Last week I was a witness at The House of Lords to discuss the Autism Act 2009 I spoke from the heart & hope I represented our #Autistic communities well (I didn't hold any punches) @HLAutismActCom You can watch the full recording here parliamentlive.tv/event/index/...

#Oliverscampaign This powerful new animation has been co-designed co-produced with autistic people & people with a learning disability It is aimed at helping staff and employers across health & social care to understand Oliver's Training & why it is so vitally important youtu.be/ouhKSOGm49g?...

#OliversCampaign I received my cancer scan results yesterday. While there are still a few issues, the treatment is doing its job. To celebrate, we’re off to see Alfie Boe and Michael Ball in the Les Misérables Grand Arena Tour in Sydney—and I’ll be back again for tomorrow’s matinee!
