#OliversCampaign I can empathise with the fact that this GP experienced childcare challenges However, I cannot accept someone repeatedly lying to cover their actions & falsifying medical records That is a serious breach of professional & ethical standards www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

#Oliverscampaign We’ve returned from Australia and are diving into house hunting, preparing to finally settle into retirement (my husband is in the Air Force). Honestly, there’s nothing fun about it—searching for a home or even the right area is exhausting, stressful, and just plain hard work.

#OliversCampaign The recurring theme in this tragic story is painfully clear: parents’ voices were ignored. @SheffChildrens you must do better. Truly listen to parents. The draft report found Ayaan received a below-expected standard of care www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

#Oliverscampaign Oliver I wanted to call 📞 you today to say I love you but your old number is no longer in service 📵 The post office has no forwarding address I guess heaven is just too far away 💔 I love you I miss you You are in my heart always ❤

#Oliverscampaign Oliver was just so cute. This little cherub had only just come home after months in the hospital, fighting through two episodes of bacterial meningitis and a stroke. Yet he never stopped smiling.

#OliversCampaign I’m travelling from Oz to the UK tomorrow for Christmas This time I am determined not to work I’m usually presenting at conferences or in meetings at Parliament but my diary is now completely cleared including cancelling a Parliamentary meeting This trip is for one thing only family

#Oliverscampaign SO many tried to stop me from making The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on learning disability & autism law for Health & Social Care staff including another female campaigner. I will always fight for true equity in health and care for neurodivergent people.

#Oliverscampaign Happy #NationalTwinDay to my Twin sister Carol Being a twin means never walking alone, having someone who knows your heart without words Carol has been my strength my laughter & my anchor On International Twin Day I celebrate her & the extraordinary bond we share

#Oliverscampaign @CQCProf You need to step up & do your job properly You have concrete evidence of people with a learning disability & autistic people being HORRIFICALLY ABUSED at this place. Surely it must be closed down There can be no more excuses bbc.com/news/article...

#Oliverscampaign Damn right the CQC SHOULD be taking more action CQC 'could take more action' at Northampton mental health hospital - BBC News share.google/Y1PjJs54pfdB...

#Oliverscampaign My God, this is horrific One former patient, aged nine at the time, says he was repeatedly sexually assaulted by a member of staff at Larchwood and Colwood in Haywards Heath He said he has vivid memories of being raped in the woods www.bbc.com/news/article...

#Oliverscampaign Today it is #WorldCandleDay where we come together to light a candle to remember our children who have died Please join me in lighting a candle to remember Oliver & all the other lost children #WorldwideCandleLightingDay

#Oliverscampaign In the week up to Sunday, there were 2,660 flu cases a day in hospital which NHS England said was the equivalent of having three hospitals full of flu patients A five-day strike by resident doctors in England is set to begin on 17 Dec www.bbc.com/news/article...

#Oliverscampaign This article is concerning It shows a serious lack of confidence in care in the North East with 800+ Marthas Rule escalations Guess which region is still woefully behind in rolling out the Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training, the North East www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-e...

#Oliverscampaign This is very concerning, I strongly believe that people will die needlessly due to a lack of staff & beds www.bbc.com/news/article...

#Oliverscampaign This young man was left to die A man died after repeated pleas for medical help over several days before he was admitted to hospital with appendicitis, an inquest heard www.bbc.com/news/article...

#Oliverscampaign I rarely come across a new photograph of Oliver. They mean the world to me. Here is Oliver doing a cookery lesson at school

#Oliverscampaign This morning I will be presenting to over 200 clinicians Oliver’s story, the importance of reasonable adjustments alongside updates regarding the progress of the Oliver McGowan Mandatory training psychiatry-uk.com

#Oliverscampaign I am so excited, we are watching Lady Gaga in Melbourne tonight @ladygaga

#Oliverscampaign I love this photograph of Oliver on his school year 5 residential

#Oliverscampaign We didn’t suddenly create more neurodivergent people. We finally started listening. Diagnosis is not a trend, it’s visibility, understanding, and long overdue recognition

#Oliverscampaign 9 years ago today, instead of taking Oliver Christmas shopping We took him to the village cemetery to be buried He was so badly abused by those who had POWER. The ultimate abuse was from the Coroner who removed Oliver's brain, destroying it. Oliver is buried without it

#OliversCampaign Parents of disabled young people: once your child turns 16, you do not automatically have the legal right to make medical decisions. youtu.be/zCH8HtiiSFw?... youtube.com/watch?v=zCH8...

#Oliverscampaign I fully support & respect our transgender communities I have concerns about the use of puberty blockers in children It is abuse & should not be happening Kids change their minds all the time These drugs can be permanent. It's just wrong www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

@hospiceuk.bsky.social #Oliverscampaign Hundreds of hospice beds are unused amid financial crisis Why are the government not investing in hospice care allowing people to have a Good Death instead of pushing for Assisted Dying SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG #AssistedDying www.bbc.com/news/article...

#Oliverscampaign Why does society place so much STIGMA on differences, particularly learning disability, mental health & autism People almost whisper that someone has these needs as though it’s shameful to have them We MUST educate & change culture, opening up hearts & minds

#Oliverscampaign Tell me again that the Assisted Dying Bill isn't dangerous for disabled people Repugnant': Do-not-resuscitate orders being given to learning disabled people without consent The health secretary has vowed to “put a stop” to the practice www.itv.com/news/2025-11...

#Oliverscampaign Another avoidable death Once she was transferred to the mental health ward, she was only allowed to see us for a maximum of two hours, twice a week. We and she asked, and were denied, repeatedly, with no justification other than it was hospital policy www.bbc.com/news/article...

#Oliverscampaign Please remind me of the century we live in: Nurses HACKED off teenager's hair and forced her into "suicide smock" at mental health unit NHS Lothian issued later issued an apology over her treatment www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottis...

#Oliverscampaign Today 11/11th marks 9 years since Oliver’s life was taken from him He loved his life & had so much more he wanted to do Yet the actions of one woman cruelly & needlessly silenced him forever I can’t help but wonder if Oliver crosses Dr Monica Mohan's mind today

@ouhospitals.bsky.social #Oliverscampaign A short time later Lilly was brought back to me, they said the mortuary was unable to take her because she was actually alive @ouhospitals.bsky.social prompts calls for action from the Health Secretary www.channel4.com/news/exclusi... via @Channel4News

#Oliverscampaign Over the past few days, I have been shocked at the ignorance & arrogance from a group of anonymous clinicians towards autistic people & people with a learning disability Thankfully, most doctors continue to act with professionalism, integrity, and genuine care

#Oliverscampaign Given @TEWV has had significant scandals regarding appalling care of learning disabled & autistic patients I am horrified to learn they are not rolling out the Oliver McGowan Mandatory training @CareQualityComm I can send you the email www.independent.co.uk/news/health/...

#Oliverscampaign Wowser! This photograph of the St Andrews Cross Spider found in my garden this morning is fascinating.

#Oliverscampaign The shock & pain never leave It’s 9 years today that Dr Monica Mohan administered Olanzapine to Oliver against everyone's advice Her actions caused Oliver's brain to ignite, bulging out of his skull He suffered because of what she did to him I am so sorry Oliver

#Oliverscampaign Here is the full hearing of the Assisted Dying Bill Over two sessions the committee heard from the bill's sponsors Lord Falconer & Kim Leadbeater MP plus health care professionals from the Royal Colleges of Physicians GPs & Nursing youtu.be/EYhiDyYfzNo?...

#Oliverscampaign It is far too hot in NSW Australia today. The wind is up and we already have some bush fires 🔥

#OliversCampaign Oliver loved riding with the Riding for the Disabled Association. Here he is with his beautiful pony, Bramble, they shared such a special bond. 🐴✨

#Oliverscampaign When Oliver had to have an EEG his dad @TRMcGow had to join in the fun Look how bright Oliver’s face & smile is What unfolded next & what was done to him was barbaric Due to antipsychotic medication being administered for no reason, Oliver became unrecognisable

#Oliverscampaign Congratulations to my husband @TRMcGow for completing the Melbourne Marathon his second full Marathon this year including two half marathons Oliver would be proud of his dad

#Oliverscampaign Today on #WorldMentalHealthDay2025 I will be presenting Oliver's story, the importance of reasonable adjustments & the rollout of his training to MindMapFocus at their conference this morning

#Oliverscampaign What a privilege to spend time with senior clinicians at @circlehealthgrp Presenting Oliver's story, the importance of reasonable adjustments including updates on the Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training It was good to see genuine commitment from leaders & staff

#Oliverscampaign When so-called professionals see humour when investigating the avoidable death of a vulnerable teenager, then talking about getting together for a celebration supper to mark the submission of Oliver’s LeDeR Something is very, very wrong @AliveLeder UNFORGIVABLE

#Oliverscampaign Another totally avoidable death, again in a little girl with Down syndrome Another life wasted www.rte.ie/news/2025/10...

#Oliverscampaign A bit of advice for medics when writing up a patient's notes Don't write something you wouldn't say to your patient's face STOP with the mother blame If you wouldn't write it about your loved ones, don't write it about your patient Keep to the facts #medSky

#Oliverscampaign My heart has doubled in size. 💕 We are overjoyed to welcome our beautiful granddaughters, Olivia and Sophia, into the world. Two perfect little blessings, who have already filled our lives with so much love. Welcome to the world, our darling girls. 💖💖

#Oliverscampaign I am sick of this; Focus on getting England back on track Stop the carry on with Farage & blaming everything else on the Conservative Party FOCUS on NHS & Social Care, Illegal immigration, Defence, Education, the economy, SEND, housing www.bbc.com/news/article...
