Last week our members attended a fantastic workshop at the University of South Wales (in Glyntaff), joining other People First groups and TRAC members ๐ The session was led by Edward Oloidi, who is carrying out important research into ๐ eye care for people with a learning disability. Some people also joined online ๐ป, making sure everyone had the chance to be involved ๐ We had really meaningful discussions about:
๐ฃ๏ธ What works well
โ ๏ธ What doesnโt work
๐ก How services can be improved
Our members shared powerful lived experiences, helping to shape better and more inclusive eye care services. Eye tests are so important for everyone, but they must be accessible, understanding, and inclusive so people with a learning disability feel comfortable and supported when attending appointments. A big THANK YOU to all our members who attended, shared their voices, and made the day so valuable ๐โจ
