Have you heard of Profound Impact Day?

Well, it's today!!! It is all about people with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD) and how they are treated hospital.

The aim of the day is to help healthcare professionals understand the importance of working in partnership with people with PMLD and their supporters, and how to make this happen.

Do you know someone who works in Healthcare?

There is a new short film that shows how to give people with PMLD the best possible care in hospital.

Please could you share it with them?

I hope you find this interesting.

Thanks, Sarah
