Today is #StrokePreventionDay.
High blood pressure is a leading cause of stroke. But by monitoring your blood pressure regularly, you can significantly reduce your risk: stroke.org.uk/SPD25
Take it from Ian, who speaks from personal and professional experience. 👇 #SPD25
New year, new adventure... (same me)! I've taken the leap into independent practice. Excited to see what the future holds! Check out my website if you're interested - malvernhills-speechtherapy.c… @_ASLTIP @RCSLT

The post-Phagenyx FEES updates are what I live for…

“He was so much better! Particularly his secretions which went from severe to WNL. We’ve put him on full oral intake- thin fluids and purée diet”
