bbc.co.uk/news/av/health… In 2019 British Society if we cannot adequately protect the most vulnerable of our society we are doing things so very wrong. It is everyone’s responsibility to make sure this is stopped. #TreatMeWell #speakup

#mySLTday supported a lady with global aphasia 4 months post stroke make her FIRST menu choice since been admitted to hospital.. perseverance + the will to communicate = SWL written word comprehension with consistent yes/no response 👏🏼👏🏼 what a pleasure 🗣

my heart is hurting - the impact of Covid-19 on our NHS is immeasurable. I worry about my colleagues, my patients and their families. Stroke recovery is unpredictable, and the impact on my vulnerable patients could be devastating - respect gov guidelines #OURNHS #AHPs

Asked a local shop if they would help us out with providing some newspapers to our patients on the Stroke Rehab ward - They are donating a selection of daily papers, three times a week - free of charge! #NotAllHeroesWearCapes #InItTogether #aphasia #StrokeRehab #communityspirit

#mySLTday held my pt’s hand and cried with her -because #aphasia during #COVID as a #stroke rehab inpatient is isolating and scary. Doing my best to let her know I’m here - her husband was at the other side of the window and we all cried together. This is horrific.#InThisTogether

Could give us all a massive pay rise but I swear there’s no better reaction in the department than when someone announces a patient has given us a good box of chocolates #kettleon #nhs #mySLTday

A little late.. but a pt referred to us AHP’s as “his team” today during a pt. lead goal setting meeting - and that is why we keep doing what we do - we are their advocates #AHPsDay2020 #strokerehab #mySLTday

#mySLTday two days left at work in 2020. What a traumatic, exhausting but truly inspiring year to be a #NHS #SLT I’m excited to see how our practice evolves following a year of adaptive practice - but first wine, family time and sleep 🙋🏻‍♀️🍷😴 #strokerehab RCSLT 💙 #AHP #ourNHS

Looking to update our local dysphagia assessment form to improve/standardise practice- does anyone use a form/documentation that helps with more consistent and robust recording of dysphagia assessment data? And willing to share? Thanks 😎 #dysphagia RCSLTLearn RCSLT Scotland RCSLT 💙

I could MAYBE accept a raise in line with pay rise, or a banding dependent percentage raise.. but cmon - how are our NQP’s affording to live? RCSLT 💙 RCSLT Scotland
