@AlexandraLCo @LdnNeonatal @MEGANCLAYTONSLT @SGHAcutePaedSLT Hi @AlexandraLCo, if you DM me your email I’ll send you a copy of the unabridged article - there’s great parent quotes and lovely feedback from the community therapists who were involved!

This looks interesting! Celebrating innovative practice in #neonatalunits across @LdnNeonatal.Well done @AshleyDeanSLT, @MEGANCLAYTONSLT & Co.This time a #QIP @SGHAcutePaedSLT with a timely focus on parents experiences of transition from #nicu to community. How can we read it?

Our amazing data collection team!

Absolutely thrilled @NZSTAComms has published an abridged article based on a #QIP we worked really hard on at @SGHAcutePaedSLT - parent feedback on ways to improve transition from #NICU to home! DM for full version. Congrats @meganclaytonslt Mel Pritchard & our other data helpers

Do you know what #dysphagia is? It’s the medical term for swallowing, eating and drinking difficulties. We’ll be raising awareness about it on 16 March for Swallowing Awareness Day. Find out more here: rcslt.org/get-involved/s… #SwallowAware2022 @SpeechPathAus #slpeeps @NHWeek

We have this beautiful piece of artwork in our expressing room on the unit. It describes every ingredient in breast milk that we currently know about. It blows my mind. @kaz_plat is always very generous with her knowledge, you can just stare at the tree and learn a little more.

Did your preterm born child require neonatal and paediatric intensive care in the NHS in their early years of life? Are you interested in taking part in a research interview to improve care? If so, drop me a line! #PedsICU

Such exciting work! Huge congrats to all involved. Looking forward to seeing how this develops in our field!

Baby's communicate with their behaviour. Signs of sensitivity include, yawning, sneezes, hiccoughs. If baby's experience too much sensory input they may need a moment to adjust. Light feathery touch can be disorganising for most of us, while slow still hands are calming.

Fantastic day running zoom sessions on #paediatricdysphagia in infants with #CHD! Thrilled to see the level of interest nationally and internationally for this topic #mysltday

Any sudden sensory input is very overwhelming. Before any interaction first talk and then touch and then move. Observe the baby, respond to their cues. Relationship based care is neuroprotective care.

Sincere thanks to @sarahkedney and team for this article on feeding outcomes post #neonatal #braininjury! Some great weekend reading for all the #NICU #slpeeps

Proud to be celebrating becoming dual certified as an #IBCLC! Grateful to be able to bring additional #breastfeeding knowledge to my infant feeding caseload to support in new and exciting ways!

Belated thanks to @RCSLTTracheCEN for hosting @SLTLouLou and her amazing talk on #compassionatecare in paediatric tracheostomy, I’ve just caught up on it and so much wisdom to put into clinical practice. Highly recommend if you haven’t seen it yet!

A fascinating article by Dr Mohammad Ashkan Moslehi on the possibility of #pharyngomalacia, something to be considering as #SLPs in our #NICU population? Looking forward to more research on this! frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

@drjackiem @NHS_HealthEdEng @LSBU_HSC @daisy_project @iainbeith @KUStGeorges @StGeorgesUni @uclh @DrFYung @RCSLTResearch @drjackiem this is amazing! Massive congratulations!

I am so excited to have been awarded an @NHS_HealthEdEng post-doctoral bridging fellowship @LSBU_HSC to focus on building the next @daisy_project studies. Huge thanks for support from @iainbeith @KUStGeorges @StGeorgesUni and @uclh @DrFYung and Lizzy Marks @RCSLTResearch 1/3

Feeling very grateful to be settling back into NZ life after a decent tech detox, keeping myself busy with study for the #IBCLC exam and making the most of starry nights like this to support an #astrophotography addiction!
