I am angry @NHSE_WTE have always been clear: people with a learning disability & autistic individuals delivering Oliver’s Training should be paid Band 5 rates
Yet many charities with contracts to deliver it are paying minimum wage

Another avoidable death
Once she was transferred to the mental health ward, she was only allowed to see us for a maximum of two hours, twice a week. We and she asked, and were denied, repeatedly, with no justification other than it was hospital policy

Nurses HACKED off teenager's hair and forced her into "suicide smock" at mental health unit
NHS Lothian issued later issued an apology over her treatment

Today 11/11th marks 9 years since Oliver’s life was taken from him He loved his life & had so much more he wanted to do Yet the actions of one woman cruelly & needlessly silenced him forever I can’t help but wonder if Oliver crosses Dr Monica Mohan's mind today

Over the past few days, I have been shocked at the ignorance & arrogance from a group of anonymous clinicians towards autistic people & people with a learning disability
Thankfully, most doctors continue to act with professionalism, integrity, and genuine care

Given @TEWV has had significant scandals regarding appalling care of learning disabled & autistic patients I am horrified to learn they are not rolling out the Oliver McGowan Mandatory training @CareQualityComm I can send you the email

The shock & pain never leave
It’s 9 years today that Dr Monica Mohan administered Olanzapine to Oliver against everyone's advice
Her actions caused Oliver's brain to ignite, bulging out of his skull He suffered because of what she did to him
I am so sorry Oliver

Oliver loved riding with the Riding for the Disabled Association.
Here he is with his beautiful pony, Bramble, they shared such a special bond. 🐴✨

When Oliver had to have an EEG his dad @TRMcGow had to join in the fun
Look how bright Oliver’s face & smile is
What unfolded next & what was done to him was barbaric
Due to antipsychotic medication being administered for no reason, Oliver became unrecognisable

When so-called professionals see humour when investigating the avoidable death of a vulnerable teenager, then talking about getting together for a celebration supper to mark the submission of Oliver’s LeDeR
Something is very, very wrong @AliveLeder
UNFORGIVABLE

A bit of advice for medics when writing up a patient's notes Don't write something you wouldn't say to your patient's face
STOP with the mother blame
If you wouldn't write it about your loved ones, don't write it about your patient
Keep to the facts

I also saw a female resident screaming in distress over male carers doing intimate personal care, due to chronic staff shortages.
The home was warned if it did not make improvements it could lose its registration & close

Today I have the joy of celebrating my 60th birthday with my twin sister Carol. Sharing life’s journey with her has been the greatest gift. There’s no bond quite like the one between twins, and I feel truly blessed.
