One of the first times I ate food after 3 months of no eating, drinking or talking. The ST’s from @NHSGrampian Rhoda & Penny did fantastic work in helping me learn how to swallow again whilst I had the trachy tube in my throat. They were great at their jobs & even better people!

Massive thanks to our president @Nick_Hewer & @drjackiem for highlighting the vital work that speech and language therapists do in supporting patients with #COVID19 on @GMB this morning. You can watch the full interview here from 2:07: itv.com/hub/good-morni… @KGadhok

Do you have access to @MicrosoftTeams? @sarahmann365 explains how you can use it to make video calling #accessible for #deaf people. #DeafTech @hag_kim

Our Allied Health Professionals are working hard to maintain essential services as well as moving into different roles and areas during COVID-19. Some of our staff made this video to share how they're working and why they're proud to be an AHP. youtu.be/6LTxxAPmeYg

Here's an animation of @abracabadger's collated #VideoConferencing #VoiceCare tips. Thanks to all who contributed to Abi's Twitter thread (bit.ly/2Yhq0Nh) - great stuff! Have you other tips on looking after your #Voice in these new times? If so, do please share them!

It's that time again! Put your hands together and make some noise for speech and language therapists everywhere, who are providing essential care for patients with #Covid19UK #Clapforslts #clapforNHS #ClapForCarers @KGadhok @RCSLTNI @Nick_Hewer @RCSLTWales @rcsltscot

@volkmer_anna @poole_moores @BCAphasia @MCAsupporttool Looking forward to hearing more @volkmer_anna. Your books have certainly informed us and helped to provide a better service so far. Such a pertinent issue with supported decision making!

@poole_moores @BCAphasia @MCAsupporttool Great! It looks like you have been super busy up there! Fantastic to hear & will let you know as soon as we make any more progress with the @BCAphasia work- should be freely available at some point in the next few years!

This week @poole_moores visited us in @NHSGrampian from @SLT_DG to discuss how an SLT can provide support to a person with Dementia and their family/carers. Some fantastic resources shared @alzscot #SLPeeps #SLTchat #DementiaAwareness #DementiaFriends #RCSLT #workingtogether

Good day at the Stroke MCN yesterday. Lots of interesting topics and lots of SLT representation @NHSGrampian @CHSScotland @RCSLT #NHSGstroke #IDDSI #dysphagiamatters #ThinkStrokeThinkSwallow #SLT #SupportingCommunication

On the stand were Morag McCulloch and Lisa Sutherland from Speech & Language Therapy and Stuart Donald, Catering Manager. #swallowaware2018 #NHW2018 @NHweek @RCSLT @hospitalcaterer @CSCmag @WeeStuDonald

There were a selection of thickened drinks to try and a selection of stage C snacks for people to taste and see if they knew what they were (incl chocolate muffin, digestive biscuit, cheese scone, cheese & crackers). #swallowaware2018 #NHW2018 @NHWeek
