Brilliant day delivering Oliver McGowan training at Torbay Hospital with our amazing Lived Experience Experts Heidi and Claire.

Their openness and honesty about their experiences of their disabilities and Autism helped the group consider how little adjustments can have better outcomes.

Had a fab day delivering Oliver McGowan mandatory training at Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust with my amazing Experts by Experience Heidi & Holly.

Thanks for being so open and honest about your experiences so that we can better understand Learning Disabilities and Autism.

I know our learners gained valuable insights and knowledge about how to make reasonable adjustments in their roles.

Here’s a simple Mental Health hack

I spent time in amongst the Sunflowers and WOW what an instant mood lift!

🌻Turns out Sunflowers aren’t just pretty

😊Their bright yellow sparks optimism

☀️They literally turn towards the light – a great reminder to us all!

Being around them can reduce your stress levels and you can’t help but smile when you see them in all their glory.

Sometimes the best mental health tips are the simple ones

Spend time in nature, soak up the sunshine and enjoy a sunflower moment

In the meantime happy to share my Sunflower moment with you, enjoy! 🌻🌻🌻

Had a great time with Andrewshayes Holiday Park getting the team Summer ready!

Thinking all things 'Customer' and how to WOW them and how each and everyone in the team can impact. Even "Rodders" the Office Pouch! 🐶

Also thinking about the perspective of our Guests with Accessibility needs, the barriers and how to look at ways to overcome them.

Have a fab summer Team! 😎🌞
