For People with Learning Disabilities

Welcome to my website. Here you will find what I'm up to, about my publications, training, coproduction and what my values are.

My day job is Practice Development Nurse for Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust. Its a role that I love and get a lot of satisfaction from. This site is my hobby and I try my best not to cross the two roles. Although their paths may cross when I am promoting one thing that benefits both - for example a free publication.

You may find some typos, spelling mistakes or a word missing that changes the context of a sentence. You see I've had a stroke and will always have hemianopia, so please cut me some slack. I do this website in my own time. Hope you enjoy the site!

My Filters Not everyone knows about filters. I don't mean the device for removing impurities from a liquid, so that a clean and efficient liquid comes out the other end. But perhaps that's exactly what happens to you after a major stroke. The small end of the filter becomes large and starts letting through the impurities of your personality and at least from the beginning you lack any control over it. Its sort of like someone in the early stage of dementia and sees a person w
