Interesting stat today shared by @_SmallestThings at the #neonatalAHP conference. 2 children in every class will have been born prematurely.Are schools #premaware in your area? #SLTs...Do you know how prematurity can impact speech&language development?

Raising awareness of #epilepsy with @epilepsysociety by doing 79 squats every day in July (crikey!) When we educate others and help people to understand, we reduce stigma. Epilepsy can start at any age. You can have seizures when you are awake or when you are asleep
Great to work with @Blisscharity again presenting with @Rebecca_murph29 about Speech and Language Therapy on the #neonatal unit. What we know is that babies and parents benefit the most when teams have all #AHPs and Psychology as part of the team + outreach & IBCLCs #SLT #SLT2b
Thought provoking talk from #neonatal #SLT and @WMNODN network lead SLT @KatyParnell5 as part of the #BabyCommunicationWeek24 with @BrazeltonUK. Thinking about building relationships with your baby "Opportunities in every contact" @NeoSLTCEN
A routine is "a sequence of actions performed as part of a regular procedure rather than for a special reason". When something is "routine", it can be perceived as dull, mechanistic, crushing creativity & agency. Yet something we see often in high performing organisations is that they build routines for innovation & improvement into their daily work. These include:
1) learning & sharing routines such as huddles, retrospectives and peer-assists
2) innovation & improvement routines such as building capability in change methods & intensive problem-solving sessions
3) leadership routines, such as regular feedback & coaching & "leadership walks" to the point of care.
Routines make improvement & learning into everyone's business. Graphic via @ScholarshipfPhd
