#Oliverscampaign Today is a good day I have completed my cancer treatment & my latest scans confirm NED I still face an estimated over 40% risk of recurrence so I will continue to have CT/PET scans & MRI brain scans every 3 months I am feeling incredibly grateful. Its a good day #Cancer

#Oliverscampaign ⚠️This post may upset some people We have just had the publication of the latest shocking LeDeR reports I have been made aware of these posts from Doctors about Oliver’s training, parents & how they feel about autistic people & people with a learning disability

#Oliverscampaign GPs are the first point of contact for people with a learning disability & autistic people They play a pivotal role in recognising individual needs That is why it is important that GPs receive the Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on Learning Disability & Autism

#Oliverscampaign This has to be the most vile post I have read in a long time. Labour candidate Heather Herbert expresses his feeling over the death of MP Ann Widdecombe following her brutal murder. #AnnWiddecombe

#Oliverscampaign I wrote this post 6/07/2024 It is time for change to repair all that is wrong We must stand together @UKLabour must focus on Economy, Defence, Social Care, Health,Education @Keir_Starmer will require strength & tenacity to build a country for us to be proud of

#Oliverscampaign The whales were really close in today

The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on Learning Disability& Autism is not about pointing fingers or assigning blame Its about us working together to prevent further avoidable deaths like Oliver's from happening again & to ensure that people receive the same quality of care in every setting

#Oliverscampaign Oliver should be sleeping safely in his own bed, instead he lays in a grave This #LearningDisabilityWeek2026 lets stop these horrendously preventable deaths due to Inequality of health care Ignorance Diagnostic Overshadowing bias Prejudice olivermcgowan.org

#OliversCampaign Too many health & care staff still lack training in neurodiversity, sensory overload, crisis and reasonable adjustments. The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training was created to change that Oliver's legacy is helping save lives.

Can you imagine the germs collected on this thing?

#Oliverscampaign Potty training with Oliver was filled with laughter.

#Oliverscampaign This video is Oliver’s final birthday with us, his 18th smiling that beautiful beaming smile I like to think he is still beside us, smiling proudly at the difference he continues to make in this world Would you join me in wishing him a Happy Birthday in Heaven

#Oliverscampaign Today we remember not only those who served, but the wives, children and families they left behind, whose quiet strength, sacrifice and resilience carried them through absence, fear and loss. We honour them too. Lest we forget. #AnzacDay

#Oliverscampaign Let's put back empathy into our health and care systems

#Oliverscampaign We should NEVER forget the illegal and medically inappropriate DNRs that were inappropriately placed on people for no other reason other than they had a learning disability. Truly shocking.

#Oliverscampaign When your child dies, you never move on DONT say these hurtful words Has she not got over it yet?” Would you ever get over your child dying He’s in a better place!! Better than being with his loving family and friends? God only takes the best. I have no words

#Oliverscampaign My husband makes an excellent lemon Meringue Pie

#Oliverscampaign Discrimination against learning disabled people from professions is real. It is no longer subconscious. It is reinforced through language, narratives, & attitudes. If we are serious about change, we must challenge this & take responsibility for changing culture

#Oliverscampaign This is exactly how #covid affected so many lives This is a Facebook memory I took mum to see dad outside his bedroom window at the nursing home for their 61st anniversary today If you look hard, you can see dad through the window. He was so pleased to see mum x

#Oliverscampaign Huge day yesterday, I finished my year-long course of cancer treatment, which is a huge achievement Due to my history of recurrence, I have a 70% chance of it returning 😔 BUT today is a good day😃 Oh, we also bought our forever home 🏡 as well. BIG day indeed

#Oliverscampaign This morning, I am honoured to be the keynote speaker for the Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training Tier 2 Lead Trainer Community of Practice event in Leeds Today is an opportunity to discuss barriers to learn from one another & think about sustainable solutions

#Oliverscampaign This morning, I am honoured to be the keynote speaker for the Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training Tier 2 Lead Trainer Community of Practice event Today is an opportunity to discuss barriers, learn from one another, and think together about sustainable solutions.

#Oliverscampaign I wonder what is happening in our mad world today

#Oliverscampaign #meningitis is nasty. Oliver had bacterial e-coli meningitis first at 3 weeks of age & again at 9 weeks It causes a huge brain haemorrhage, leaving him with cerebral palsy, epilepsy, a mild learning disability & later on a diagnosis of autism He DIDN'T have a rash

#Oliverscampaign On #mothersday2026 my thoughts are with us mums whose children live in Heaven Today is painful The silence roars The empty space at the table is stark The missing card on the mantelpiece screams they are gone Our children will always be loved and always be missed

#Oliverscampaign I was a keynote speaker for the NMP conference at @RWT_NHS @WalsallHcareNHS which was attended by 200 clinicians Feedback for my presentation telling Oliver's story, the importance of reasonable adjustments & the Oliver McGowan Mandatory training was outstanding

#Oliverscampaign This is so true

#Oliverscampaign Never take the little things for granted. I loved walking & talking with Oliver, those quiet, unpressured moments where there were no expectations, just us. That was taken from us. Hold your loved ones a little closer tonight, & cherish those precious moments 💛

#Oliverscampaign Since my accident last week, my hair simply had to be washed This was Tom’s first attempt at washing & drying it & let’s just say there were moments where I feared I might come out looking like I’d stuck my finger in a plug socket To be fair he did a good job

#Oliverscampaign Let's change the narrative from #AssistedDying to #AssistedLiving Give people support in the community at the point of need. Improve palliative care services, Mental Health & Disability Services, & Social Care Let's ensure that no person feels they are a burden
