Buddy Chat was co-designed from the start! We sought feedback & importantly asked those living with SLCN for their thoughts! Pete Bradley, Fireman & founder of @BelfastSupport is certain that Buddy Chat will make a difference in schools! 🥳 @RCSLT

Ahead of Dementia Awareness Week, we have published new guidance, resources and a position paper to support SLTs working with people with dementia. The guidance highlights best practice, provides practical guidance and signposts to other resources.

1 year ago this poster showed the results of my scoping project re. communication needs on mental health wards. Next month the communication service will start after successful funding and recruitment. A huge quality improvement win and one of my proudest work achievements 😊

We love to get patients involved in group activities here on the female stroke rehab ward. This week we ran a sensory group joint with OT and Physio! Our patients were singing, smelling, seeing, hearing, touching and tasting! We even made BioZoon “mulled wine” & hot chocolate🎅🏻🎄

Such an important area being discussed by Ruth Fitzsimons on the link between language and emotional regulation and literacy. Noticing this link on the ground in my everyday clinical practice @iaslt #IASLTconf23

We also refreshed our knowledge of cough reflex testing & how it helps assess the integrity of airway protection during swallowing. Identifying different cough types can guide tailored interventions, reduce aspiration risk & enhance patient care #mySLTday @standrewsSLT #SLTsinMH

ALT Wiew of the @RCSLT professional development framework. It is two concentric circles. The inner circle is divided into five 'core components': Practitioner wellbeing, Impact, Inclusion and diversity, Sustainability and Co-production. The outer circle is divided into four pillars of practice: Facilitation of learning; Evidence, research and innovation; Leadership and management; and Professional practice.

Most mental health services & therapies are verbally mediated -with the high prevalence of language & communication needs in this population, it's vital that SLTs are embedded in mental health teams to support access to required interventions #WorldMentalHealthDay2022 #SLTsinMH

The role of a speech and language therapist 🙋♀️.
If I had £1 everytime someone asked "Oh you're doing speech and language therapy that's awesome.. what is it that you do?" 🤣
