@JennyFreed Haha definitely! 🥰

@Jess_SLT2b Congratulations again Jess! The 🎓shot is fab - must have been the excellent countdown 😉!

A little late with writing this post….but so happy to say that I’ve graduated as a speech and language therapist!!! 💬🎓Cannot believe it and don’t know where the last 3 years have gone. I have loved my university journey, met so many wonderful people and friends for life 💜

From students……to…..work colleagues! 💙💙 So surreal to be working with @HollyEvaSLT today after studying together for the last 3 years. Excited to be completing our NQP journey.

Come and join the amazing Community Stroke Team - great oppprtunity for a band 6 or band 5 as a development post! The most wonderful role and supportive team - with so many opportunities for developing your skills xx

@LizMorr39183619 What a moment Liz! Only feels like yesterday when we were having a picture under the arch on our first day 🩷🩷

So happy to have finally reached this point! Grateful to be joining an incredible team working with adults in the NHS!

@LizMorr39183619 I know, so sad 😢

What an absolute force of nature we have lost 😔

@racheljstarkey @sltat Aww lovely pictures! 🥰 Gutted I couldn’t make it with such a fab bunch!

Lovely evening on Saturday with final year SLT students at UoM @sltat

@LomaxMarika Thank you so much Marika! Hope all is well with you! 🥰

@Jess_SLT2b Congratulations Jess!! So close! 🥳💖

And that’s it…final placement all finished! Wow, what a brilliant and varied placement 💜 I’m so lucky to be joining the same, supportive, team in a few weeks where I start my NQP journey.

Thanks so much everyone 🥰💜x

Absolutely thrilled to bits to have accepted my dream NQP role working with children with complex needs in the CDS 💙 alongside clinic. Just my final exam and the rest of my placement to get through. Think it’s finally hit me that I’m going to be a speech and language therapist!

Can’t believe I’m actually writing this! Today was my last day on campus as an SLT student 💜 What a mix of emotions…..going to miss this place, this lovely bunch of people and our fabulous lecturers. If you’re thinking of studying SLT then would highly recommend the UoM 💜

@erandolphslt @FBMH_UoM @jasspeechneuro @EmmaOrmerod7 @ReaDySpeech Thanks Emily! Really enjoyed the session today ☺️

It was lovely to be back @FBMH_UoM speaking with final year #SLTstudents about my role @jasspeechneuro, finding and applying for jobs and interviewing!🗣️Thank you to @EmmaOrmerod7 and @ReaDySpeech for having me! #mysltday

Atrial Fibrillation (AF) causes 1 in 5 strokes. ❤️❤️❤️💜❤️ Symptoms often go unnoticed, and half a million people live with AF unknowingly. But checking your pulse for #StrokePreventionDay can detect AF and prevent a stroke. Find out how, here: stroke.org.uk/rhythm #SPD24

@WallerIzzieSLT @UoMSLTSoc Of course! What a great opportunity 🥰 All shared with our society members 💜

Well that’s it…..the end of semester 1 teaching! What a great way to celebrate with this lot with our own secret Santa 🥰🧑‍🎄

Making memories on campus with this great bunch 🥰 can’t believe we have less than 2 weeks of teaching left of semester 1 😳

@erandolphslt @WallerIzzieSLT We loved having you back Emily! Thanks so much again for a fantastic talk 🥰

Such a lovely experience to be welcomed back so warmly! And of course, couldn’t have done it without the fabulous @WallerIzzieSLT ✨🗣️

@WallerIzzieSLT @UoMSLTSoc @erandolphslt Thank you so so much to you both for a brilliant talk! We’re all feeling totally inspired and raring to go 🥰

Big thanks to @Jess_SLT2b at @UoMSLTSoc for organising, and to everybody who came/ interacted with myself & @erandolphslt today! Lovely to speak to future SLTs about being an NQP (& beyond!) in the private/ Neuro sector 🧠 Come and find us at the careers fair in the New Year! 👀

'My apologises to everybody out there who's got a speech condition because it doesn't define who you are.' @chris_kammy speaks about the initial shame he felt about his speech apraxia diagnosis.
