On Thursday HSJ hosted a Twitter chat as part of Learning Disabilities Week.
We discussed Daniel Marsden’s recent article for HSJ, about internships in the NHS for people with learning disabilities. The discussion considered whether the NHS could be more open in who it employs and what obstacles there are to having a more representative workforce.
If you weren’t able to take part, we have collected the chat in Storify, below.
