@Comm_Changes @sally_fontaine This is great and just the impetus I need to give this a go. We’re struggling with paper/electronic handovers for training multiple support workers in a team. Also feel this gives the patient much more ownership.

@Jess_FoulkesSLT Jess, I’m so sorry to hear this. I’ve signed the petition and will share the link with our team.

🧵1. You might be surprised to see me share something non-SLT related. This is personal to me as I lost my mum to breast cancer at a young age. I now have primary breast cancer at a young age too. This disease has caused havoc to my life and many others.

@SimonDGriffiths @LevelWaterSwim @outdoor_swimmer Me too! I’m doing Saturday. Except you’ll have finished before I’ve even got halfway.

I've just entered the Dart 10k. It's a race I've never done before. @LevelWaterSwim @outdoor_swimmer

@volkmer_anna @SusieWSLT @Jess_FoulkesSLT @BCAphasia @NIHRresearch @UCLPALS @ijlcd Go @Jess_FoulkesSLT! That’s so exciting.

So proud of @Jess_FoulkesSLT for the amazing study she completed with me & @BCAphasia during her @NIHRresearch #PCAF @UCLPALS & went on to write up for publication in @ijlcd - using conversation analysis to explore capacity assessments in clinical setting onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/14…

We have a fantastic B3 opportunity for someone with a particular interest in #speechandlanguagetherapy to work with SLTs to carry out #neurorehab with people with #braininjury in a level 1 inpatient setting at the Wolfson Rehab Centre. 👇Closing 8th Feb. jobs.nhs.uk/candidate/joba…

Registration for next Clinical Networking Meeting is here! onlinestore.ucl.ac.uk/conferences-an… @UCLIoN @BCAphasia @UCLLangCog @CrinionJenny @alexander_leff @simongrobler @NHNN_therapies

@HeadwayUK @saul_naomi We recommended this to the @UCL_MScSLS students today!

Communication is a complex process, which involves many aspects of thinking and social skills. If brain injury impairs any of these skills then it can affect the ability to communicate successfully. Info on cognitive communication difficulties: headway.org.uk/about-brain-in…

Are you an SLT with a passion for Neurorehab? 8a 0.6 WTE based at St George's is out to advert now. Come and join a fantastic team @WolfsonNeuro @ABI_CEN jobs.nhs.uk/candidate/joba…

@LeanneTogher @LouiseCKeegan @hoepner_jerry @ABICommLab I’m also really interested in this. Will be sharing with @UCL_MScSLS and @StGSpeechies.

It’s open access & it’s online now! Great to work with my colleagues @LouiseCKeegan @hoepner_jerry and Prof Mary Kennedy on this new #TBI and #CCD paper: Clinically Applicable Sociolinguistic Assessment for Cognitive-Communication Disorders pubs.asha.org/doi/10.1044/20… @ABICommLab

@SW_Help Excellent work by your team arranging taxis at Southampton Central this evening. Unfailingly cheery and helpful in challenging circumstances.

@iamfarisha_a @londonoriana @maire_mckenna @StGeorgesTrust You’re very welcome. We loved singing today and would love to come back next year too!

thank you so much @londonoriana and @maire_mckenna for bringing the Christmas cheer to our ward. We appreciate it!🙂 @StGeorgesTrust

@mrchrisaddison @mormolyke @annalapwood I heard ‘The Crimson Sun’ by Alexander Campkin for the first time yesterday. It’s my new favourite carol. open.spotify.com/track/71sxgljQ…

It's Advent. Again! So let's have a carol a day. Again! Starting with: 1. 'Halcyon Days', a scoop of swoony gorgeousness brought to us by two of the coolest people in contemporary music - composer @mormolyke and choir MD @annalapwood. An absolute banger. youtube.com/watch?v=f4rR4q…

Tell me the Christmas present you don't want. Me: a Yankee candle that smells like melted sweets.

@kate_tweeton @southwarkfoodbk We’re @londonoriana and we loved it! Thanks for donating. Come to one of our concerts.

Cognitive communication disorder can occur in stroke though how do we diagnose this disorder? Whose role is it? What terms do we use? This is what myself and others discussed yesterday at #UKSF23 @vml11 @nicolecharleslt @maire_mckenna

Wolfson SLTs and OT sharing their expertise and best practice with a patient with CCD across the pathway

So please to have a great turn out and reps from the whole MDT for #uksf23 session on cognitive communication disorder. Hope everyone left inspired! @vml11 @maire_mckenna @NicholasBehn @MadelineCruice @JenniferNCrow

@LCHS_Adult_SLT @RCSLTLearn @LincsAHPs @RCSLT Great to hear of the student support. Have you seen The Montreal Protocol for Evaluation of Communication (MEC)? It’s standardised and a great ax for CCD.

#MySLTDay as a neuro SLT: Started #mountwilga ax with patient post TBI, while supporting a lovely student on placement. Great to facilitate this learning for her, as she’d never seen the MW in practice. @RCSLTLearn @LincsAHPs @RCSLT

@NicholasBehn, @nicolecharleslt, Vicky Lack @vml11 and Máire McKenna will join them as they look to provide a concise summary of the evidence base around cognitive communication disorder + provide tips and suggestions for developing one’s own clinical practice in CCD in stroke

Come and work as an SLTA in our amazing inpatient team at Queen Mary’s Hospital. Great experience if you want to be an SLT. jobs.stgeorges.nhs.uk/#!/job/UK/Lond… #SLT2B @RCSLT @StGSpeechies
