It took me a while to calm down enough to fill out the post-conference survey for my professional association's annual meeting. And yet I still found myself scream-typing (all caps) in places. Accessibility requires caring about it first, and that's free. #NothingForUsWithoutUs #AccessibilityFirst

Ken Tait, patient involved in the Hypo-Resolve project. 'I like to think that what we brought to the table was a different dimension to the research. What I found fantastic was that we were a really sought-after voice, rather than just using us for feedback. We need to be at the heart of research, at the co-design and co-creation of it.'
👋 It's day 2 of our #PatientsInResearch week & we're focusing on co-creation & integrating #PatientVoices into #HealthResearch to transform results. Ken Tait is contributing to diabetes complications research & says patients need to be at the ❤️ of research. #NothingForUsWithoutUs #PatientCentricity

We are not case studies.

We’ve lived the pain.

Great to see @gfanafrica.bsky.social at the #FfD4 conference in Seville pushing the message that Communities NEED to be ta the haear tof international development decision making
#CommunitiesAreExperts
#NothingForUsWithoutUs
❗️ Although there are speakers from a huge range of sectors in Seville for #FfD4 conferences, a clear theme is alarm at the deliberate rollback of civil society engagement— this sets a dangerous precident for future international development discussions.
#NothingForUsWithoutUs
Strong criticism at the #Ff4D CSO forum on the way communities have been excluded and shut out of formal meetings for the Seville declaration; we know from decades of the HIV response that community leadership is essential if we want to advance international development.

An extract of Letter from Debbie Abrahams MP, Chair of the Work and Pensions Committee, urging the government to delay changes to PIP eligibility and Universal Credit rates, expand consultation with disabled people and their organisations, and conduct an independent analysis of the impact of proposed cuts. The letter also requests delaying plans to amend PIP eligibility criteria, co-producing new proposals with disabled people, and ensuring no one in need loses support. The letter is signed by Debbie Abrahams and requests a response by 2 June 2025
🚨 @alexballingermp.bsky.social please read this urgent letter from your own @CommonsWorkPen urging a pause to the cruel #DisabilityBenefits cuts. Reflect on your duty to Parliament and to #Disabled people in #Halesowen & beyond. Please #VoteAgainst. Do NOT abstain. #NothingForUsWithoutUs
Yesterday's ruling at the supreme court was made without the consultation of the group it would affect.
That in and of itself should make it obvious how flawed it is.
