@Kate_Parfitt_ @SLTMetCaerdydd @KimJenks_SLT @RCSLTWales @ABUHB_Speech Hi Kate, I’d love to hear more about your student placement offers- we’re looking to do the same in Surrey so would love to know what works elsewhere ☺️

Thank you @SLTMetCaerdydd for inviting us to lecture to your fabulous 3rd year students about working in Youth Justice Services. Brilliant discussion and ideas. Looking forward to working with some students on placement over the next couple of months.

@Claire_SLT Thanks Claire!

Calling SEMH SLTs for advice- does anyone know of any specialist provisions that suit secondary age girls who are cognitively able but have SEMH needs? Ideally located in/near Surrey, or have boarding options?

@GLiveGuildford I’ve just returned home to find my jacket and bag have been damaged by bleach. This was clearly during the event as it still smells! I can’t get in touch with anyone via phone. Please contact me asap.

Can be NMI or ‘state’

"With one in four NHS speech therapist jobs now vacant & speech delay on the rise, many parents are waiting years to access the support their child needs," reports @GraziaUK: graziadaily.co.uk/life/parenting… @Nick_Hewer @SeanPert @IrmaDonaldson19 @SteveJamieson12

I would like to recruit five more participants for my research project on SLT experiences of practice education. Please contact me or share with others who may be interested. Thank you to those participants who have taken part so far 🗣️

In this podcast we chat with @DrHannahHobson (AKA @YorkEMERALDLab), @SamGamblen and @Claire_SLT about the research they did to answer this question and what it revealed. soundcloud.com/rcslt/ijlcd-th… #dld @RCSLTpolicy @RCSLT #slpeeps #developmentallanguagedisorder #cjscen

@DrHannahHobson What’s best in my opinion is be kind to yourself- you’re a supermum and super mums need time to recharge!! Rest, focus, return stronger ❤️

What’s best when you work part time and you have *one of those days* where the work mojo just leaves you? Pre-baby I knew I’d make it up in the rest of the week/in an evening if needed, but now I’m stressed because it feels like there’s just not enough time to have an off day 😩

@Nichola_SP @speechBITE Thank you!!

Looking for some advice #slts! Can anyone point me in the direction of articles relating to Slt intervention with children with #FASD please?? Thank you!!

@romankemp @PandasPans they are the only UK charity supporting families suffering from these horrendous medical conditions. #PANS Paediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome #PANDAS Paediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptococcus.

@SLTclare_ @SLT_Kimu76 I echo @SLT_Kimu76 - I enjoy hearing about what you’re doing! Really inspirational stuff! But look after you- we’d miss you but if you need a Twitter break, take one!

@Claire_SLT Jeez Louise. What an absolute tit

Myself and @JudyClegg2 have been shortlisted to supervise a PhD project about school exclusions and language disorders. findaphd.com/phds/project/u… We're looking for applicants! #SLP #AcademicTwitter #PhD

Provisional talk title for this week: “How we (negatively) perceive people with Developmental Language Disorder and how we (don’t) support them to have positive wellbeing outcomes” It has been a cheerful year of research 😬 Important findings I am keen to share however!
