Apologies to deaf followers. As I'm working from home, my videos haven't been subtitled and I know that provides difficulties for some of you. My plan is now to post unsubtitled at speed, then get my team to subtitle and repost that version asap.

350 responses so far after 2 days! Ideal is minimum 750 to capture at least 50% of registered profession. But the closer we get to 1500 the better! You know you can do it! Takes 15-20 mins & will help us to establish baseline for demographic profile of the SLTI profession in uk!
