If you are looking at this padlet then someone felt it might be helpful for you or a young person you care for. We have collected information on Tics for people to look at in their own time. We have tried to group the information into sections (some have the same information). Please note, whilst some of the information and charity focus on Tourettes, Tourettes is different from Tics and may not be relevant to you. Please also note that everyone's experiences of Tics are different, so you might find some of the information does not apply to you or a child you care for.

Scroll down to find the section relevant to you. You can use the contents to see which section is best for you. You can scroll to the side to find more information under that section.

If you click on the picture in the box, it will take you to a document, video or webpage. Once you have finished, click the X in the top left to return to the pallet and find more information.

New Hospital Passport app set to improve hospital experience for patients with learning disabilities | Latest News

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
This month saw the launch of the new Hospital Passport (HP) app at University Hospitals Plymouth. The app has been created to support people with a learning disability to be able to tell hospital staff what their needs are, what they like and do not like and details that might affect their care. The Hospital Passport has traditionally been a paper document that patients needed to carry around but with today’s technology, it is more practical and efficient to use a phone or portable device, to keep the information safe and readily available. The Derriford User Group (DUG) (a local group of people with learning disabilities) has helped design the new digital version. Funding from Plymouth Hospitals Charity has built the app and will support the roll out of this new service.

"As part of the Psychological Medicine Team, I support children with complex mental health conditions in the context of physical health problems or neurodevelopmental disorders (such as ADHD and Autism). I trained in child psychology because I have always had a real interest in people, why they do what they do, why they think how they think, why they feel the way they feel.

"Helping children understand, recognise and better manage their emotions and actions is deeply rewarding. Supporting children at this young age gives one the opportunity to make meaningful changes to a young person's life, such as helping them to attend school more regularly, make friends more easily and overall be happier young people.

"Oscar has had motor and vocal tics for more than a year.  In 2018, Oscar also began to develop unusual movements which were not tics and he and his family noticed were influenced by high levels of anxiety. These dramatic movements meant that Oscar dropped to the floor suddenly and this was happening up to 100 times a day when they were at their worse. The collapsing episodes were so impairing that Oscar had stopped attending school regularly, could not go places on his own, or see his friends as often as he would like.
