Some new goodies arrived today ahead of Swallowing awareness day next week. Already got some new videos planned.

Discussing how to manage aphasia to second-year students today. Students took part in a PACE activity as client/SLT to demonstrate the difficulty in communicating something as simple as their favourite movie. Can you guess the movies from these pictures?

One for next year's teaching but happy to receive an inspection copy of Gilbertson and Henson's new book. Nice to see a resource which reflects the diversity of clinical caseloads (i.e. cognitive-communication disorder, prolonged disorder of consciousness, challenging behaviour)

A new week and Caroline Bowen and Pamela Snow's new book has just arrived on my door step. One for those who have, or work with, children with additional needs. Hope it is as good as the previous Making Sense which I thoroughly enjoyed!

Just received this today and looking forward to reading my former colleague Claire Hartley's chapter on communication following a stroke in collaboration with the South Birmingham (BCU) Conversation and Family Group. Congratulations! Whole book looks excellent & very practical

@seoliphant Thanks Sharon

@ArmstrongSLT Congratulations 🎉

Assessing first-year physiotherapy and speech and language therapy students presentations this morning/lunchtime then a SLT staff meeting in the afternoon. Received my teaching qualification in the post too! #mySLTday

@slt_amyadams Good luck with the job Amy.

Nice to see some pay off for the hard work over the last couple of years. Finally received confirmation and final grade for teaching qualification. A distinction! #mySLTday

@HRobertsSLT @dr_deglutition @FEESVFCEN @UKSRG2 I joined @dr_deglutition's STEP when I was completing my dysphagia competencies. Excellent resources. I would likely attend / sign up.

#mySLTday: Talks with Ianessa Humbert @dr_deglutition about bringing some of her courses to a UK audience, starting with virtual & hopefully moving to face to face if we get enough UK interest. Watch this space 👀! @FEESVFCEN @UKSRG2.

Fantastic #AHPsDay. Recorded videos with a colleague for upcoming dysphagia simulations. Manned the speech and language therapy table with @Bammo44 at university, and spoke to lots of students and other staff about the profession. #mySLTday

First day of induction week. The wait is finally over! Met new students. Campus bustling. #mySLTday

@Claire_SLT Good so far! It is not induction week starting tomorrow so will be nice to see all of the new students after a quiet August.

@Claire_SLT Congratulations Claire. Look forward to reading it.

Attended @KeeleUniversity's SimFest yesterday. Good chance to meet wide range of healthcare colleagues across the university and region, and see range of approaches to simulation. #mySLTday
