Today was a great opportunity to reflect on work we have done to develop our SLT service.

The SLT team are at the @UHP_NHS Clinical Support Services Expo today. Come meet the team and chat all things service improvement

Speech and Language Therapists help everyone to Speak Up by supporting us to take care of our voices. I have been given a clean bill of vocal health by our green wearing SLT Denise! @UHP_NHS @uhpslt @DAllcorn @NatGuardianFTSU

In our journal club today @_clare_webster gave us an interesting overview on the topic of frailty. We appraised a systematic review on the association between frailty and dysphagia. SLTs pay a vital role in identifying and managing dysphagia in this complex population @UHP_NHS

Fantastic cardiac PD session this morning 🫀. Thanks to our specialist Cardiac Dietitian @RachelGouldin17 and guest speakers Emma Freeman (SLT) and Kayleigh Roberts (PT) talking all things tracheostomies and dysphagia 🗣️ @uhpslt @UHPPhysio @UHP_NHS #Rehab #MDTlearning #CPD

New team fleeces = happy SLTs! ☺️#SLCheeeeeeeese @UHP_NHS

Our final event of @NHWeek and what better way to celebrate than with a Tropical Foam Party on Erme Ward @UHP_NHS . The team have been tasting mocktail foam and chatting about what it might be like to be nil by mouth. @rachgayle1978 @RCSLT

Back again and making new friends 🐶. Lots of great attempts to find the epiglottis and chats about the impact of dysphagia on nutrition and hydration. @NHWeek @RCSLT @UHP_NHS

Come and play Pin The Epiglottis on the Head and win some chocolate 🍫 (Thanks to SLTs on Twitter for the fantastic idea we “borrowed”) @UHP_NHS @RCSLT @NHWeek #SwallowAware2023

The SLT team are on Level 6 @UHP_NHS for #SwallowAware2023 and @NHWeek . Come say hi and ask any questions you have about dysphagia @RCSLT

#SwallowAware2023, @RCSLT, such a fitting time to get our @BiozoonUK for use with our NBM patients. First taste of chocolate for someone NBM for the past 3 months.

The team on Erme Ward @UHP_NHS have done some fantastic work for @NHWeek including turbo teaching and menu tasting. Watch this space for more exciting updates 😉 @rachgayle1978 #SwallowAware2023 @RCSLT

Are you swallow aware? On #SwallowAware2023 day the Acute SLT team are reflecting on the impact of dysphagia. We start every day with a pot of coffee, wondering what our day might be like if we weren’t able to eat and drink….

Team night out, turns out Speechies are not natural bowlers 😂😂 Lots of laughs and very few strikes #teamwork #Wellbeing
