Say hi to our new house guest. Welcome cutie pie Marley. She’s very gorgeous but I think she brings with her some mischief! 😁😁

Thank you to everyone at Notley High School @Kfarrowslt for hosting us & sharing stories, experiences & laughs, never mind the treats from my wonderful Japanese colleagues who came along with me; and proving that learning, #SLT #storytelling is fun & cool!

@SusanEbbels @SeanPert @RCSLT Lack of funding and capacity are massively driving the reduction in therapy. Not enough investment in SLT Services and SLT pipeline is inadequate. Recruitment is challenging and teams are trying to function with huge waiting lists and not enough staff

🌟🌟 Bulletin column @SeanPert (@rcslt chair) re "short-sighted rationing, such as 6wk block". "No researcher has suggested extremely low interventions are effective" Calls for leaders to "make evidence-based treatment intensity a core pillar of your team's practice". 👏👏

@WordAware @PhilippaWebb3 There’s a problem recruiting therapists even when funding is available - a pipeline problem for NHS workforce. Apprenticeship pathways are very welcome.

@PhilippaWebb3 I can only imagine! For too long services have stretched further and further. Really beyond breaking point. Now we need proper funding

My 6yr old had open heart surgery last year. As a paediatrician myself, stepping over onto the other side was hard. 5 things I learnt from being a parent on a paediatric ward. A 🧵 /1

@SusanEbbels @RCSLT It really is heartbreaking. The therapy I was able to deliver when I qualified compared to service demands now, is so different. Difficult to consider evidence base when there are no real opportunities to monitor impact or offer enough sessions for full package of care.

So sad to see this assessment of where the SLT profession is. How can we turn this round? @RCSLT

@solomon_teach It’s a system-wide failure along with huge numbers of referrals, backlog of appointments and impact of suspension of services following lockdown. Resilience amongst therapists at all time low leading to retention and recruitment issues. SLT is not the career it once was.

Is it just me or does the overall situation in primary schools with occupational and speech therapists seem almost scandalous? Some kids seen only once a term, no institutional idea of what works, no idea of measurable impact, Feels like piñata. Wasting absolutely millions.

So managed to avoid it up to now, but I guess with life and activity normalising, it was maybe inevitable that it was going to happen. Feeling grateful to be fully vaccinated which makes it much more manageable & for having such wonderful support from family & friends 🙏🙏

Can’t quite believe this fluffy little scoundrel has become this handsome little man, with someone calling him a typical English gentleman 😄😄. Happy third birthday Oreo Harry (Spurs loving) Barney Joffe. You bring so much joy to so many people! Blessed to have you in our lives
