Supporting adults with learning disabilities to age meaningfully As people with learning disabilities age, their needs evolve, requiring more tailored support. A recent study funded by the NIHR (National Institute for Health and Care Research) highlights the growing demand for specialised care to address challenges like health, mobility, and social inclusion in later life. Families and caregivers are also seeking more guidance to navigate these changes effectively. It's crucial to develop long-term strategies that support ageing individuals with learning disabilities, ensuring their quality of life remains high.

🐘Conservation meets cutting-edge science LGC Biosearch Technologies is helping protect endangered African forest elephants by using genotyping—a technique that analyses DNA from their dung. By examining the genetic makeup of these elusive animals, researchers can track population health, understand genetic diversity, and create better conservation strategies to protect them from extinction. This advanced approach offers a non-invasive way to monitor wildlife and play a critical role in preserving biodiversity.
