Today in our Outreach Champions meeting we welcomed Rachel and Amber for the first time - we hope you liked our meeting space 👍. Both Rachel and Amber found their way independently as it is easy to find ✅️, on good bus routes 🚌 and fully accessible ♿️. We spent a lot of our session talking about up and coming events 🗓 and preparing for the Dental 🦷Consultation we are having next week with Isobel Leason from the Critical Inclusive Design in Oral Health team at the University of Liverpool 🎓 @livuni Isobel is completing research 📑 with people who may face barriers ❌️ to accessing oral health care or experience oral health care inequalities and we will share our experiences with her. #mencapliverpool #mencapliverpoolandsefton #healthinequalities #uniofliv Read More
