And with that I’ve completed an MSc in Speech and Language Therapy… I’ve just passed my acute hospital placement, so come September I’ll be a qualified SLT - it doesn’t quite feel real 🥺

can’t be sad today i have a lot of work

The first book I finished in 2024 made me cry so the bar for this year in terms of reading has been set very high

@LucyDipper @CityLCS I remember thinking the same thing when doing the degree, then ended up doing my dissertation on linguistics 😂 good job, Lucy!!!

@DermotKennedy Can’t wait to see you on the 14th for ChooseLove 💜

Like it here in Sydney

Why can’t concert tickets go on sale at a reasonable time like 9pm when the majority of people won’t be working, instead of 10am 🥲

Things about the band 5 job search process that I wish I’d known when I started & that others may find useful: a thread

Monday thoughts...💭 ✨ What's your favourite line (ever) from a Shakespeare play?

Thank you for being a light in my life and making me laugh, all through one character. Matthew Perry, you truly are a star who will never be forgotten. I genuinely couldn’t BE more heartbroken 💜

A big week ahead. This Thursday I will be speaking at an event in Parliament, hosted by MP, Saqib Bhatti and the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists. We will be highlighting issues for children who should be able to receive the specific speech therapy they need, and to raise awareness of CAS (Childhood Apraxia of Speech) & Verbal Dyspraxia. Our aim is to request more funding to recruit speech and language therapists to help the children and to also provide help in schools. We will be begging the government to provide more resources and support for families.

@stone_relief I currently have one fitted and it’s causing me a lot of aggro. Weeing really hurts, can’t get comfortable and it hurts when I sit down? Not sure what’s considered normal for a stent!

@stone_relief Hi, yes it was my first one - agony!!

been in hospital since Friday, admitted with kidney stones after 20 hrs in a chair in A&E, surgery to remove stones, stent in place, and then tested positive for covid. Hopefully coming home today, but what an awful couple months these have been.. only way is up from here 🤲🏼💟

Can anyone recommend some (ideally free) webinars/blogs/accounts on: - Infant Stammering - Gestalt language processing TIA ☺️

Is it worth an NQP SLT signing up for a Twinkl account? I have a primary school caseload ☺️

Please look out for Gboyega, a wonderful colleague. I so much hope he’s okay. Reposts would be really helpful. Thank you to anyone who can help.

@LBC QUESTION: why do we say ‘I’m in the car’ but say ‘I’m on the train/bus/plane’? Why ON and not IN?

lil reminder for students as final results come out: numbers don’t define you, nor do grades - please don’t base your value on these things!!! There’s much more to life than a number 🤟🏼

@RosieT_SLT What an amazing idea!! This has inspired me 🤩

SLT reference book made and created. 3 years of study noted in Over 200 pages to keep in my car and on my home desk to use when I get a job.
