Great to see paeds specific VFSS education. And aimed at beginner and experienced clinicians! Really looking forward to this FEES & VF SLT Clinical Excellence Network

This week is Feeding Tube Awareness Week. Do you know that some born with OA/TOF, regardless of age, use a feeding tube to supply the nutrition they need? TOFS supports raising awareness and helping to reduce stigma surrounding feeding tubes. #FeedingTubeAwarenessWeek

A brilliant, brand new article about the role of #neonatalOT & #neonatalPhysio from the super team at NWAFT EoeNeonatalODN EoEAHPs sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

It’s OA/TOF Awareness Week! Find out how to get involved at: tofs.org.uk/oa-tof-awarene… #OA / #TOF is more common than many people realise, yet awareness of its impact is often lacking. Let’s change that!

I’ve made the jump across to the blue skies place. If you’re already there or planning to head over you can find me as laurabslt I’ll be doing my World Book Day posts over there but ODN posts will still be shared here ☺️

#WorldBookDay is coming up this week - and it's never too early to start sharing stories with babies. Here's how children's physiotherapist Fiona has used #Bookstart Baby to support families in a neonatal unit - and how reading has helped them to bond: booktrust.org.uk/news-and-featu…

It’s #worldbookday2025! Here at the @eoeneonatalodn we’re working with our units and @booktrust to promote the benefits of reading on neonatal units. Keep eyes on our page today to see more about what we’re doing, and why reading to neonates is a good idea

Grateful to @booktrust for their very generous donation of books and posters to all of our EoE neonatal units. Looking forward to hearing what the units have done on #worldbookday2025 @eoeneonatalodn

Spending my day with the team at Peterborough City Hospital, joining their celebrations BookTrust

Reading to babies on NICU brings a number of benefits for both babies and their families. Here are just a few of the benefits that have been described in the evidence base #worldbookday2025 @eoeneonatalodn @booktrust

You can read to babies on NICU at any age. They don’t need to be “old enough”. Read to babies in their incubator, cot, out for cuddles or skin to skin. Here’s some helpful information from NWAFT OT Lucy about reading in skin to skin #worldbookday2025 @eoeneonatalodn @booktrust

It's #WorldBookDay - but why is reading and sharing stories so valuable for children, anyway? This is why 👇 booktrust.org.uk/what-we-do/imp…

It doesn’t matter what you read to your baby on NICU. Your voice and the hearing words are the important thing. But we still love a good children’s book! These are some of the ODN team’s favourites. #worldbookday2025 @eoeneonatalodn @booktrust

BookTrust has a book finder tool to help you out if you aren’t sure what books to consider for your baby (or older child). Have a look at it here booktrust.org.uk/books-and-read… #worldbookday2025 EoeNeonatalODN

Sometimes parents tell us that they feel anxious or embarrassed reading or talking to their baby out loud. Some tell us they don’t know what to say. How can nurses, medics & AHPPs help with this? #worldbookday2025 @eoeneonatalodn @booktrust

Some families find reading hard for many reasons. Language, literacy, disability. We can still help them to embed reading into their daily lives. What are some other ways to make reading to their baby less daunting for these families? #worldbookday2025 @eoeneonatalodn @booktrust

Lovely morning at Peterborough City Hospital neonatal unit for #worldbookday2025. Despite being incredibly busy the unit still put on a fabulous day. They will be on ITV Anglia tomorrow night. Big cheers for Lucy for doing such a great job being interviewed 🙌🙌EoeNeonatalODN

Your baby may not understand the words yet but they love your company and sound of your voice. They may show you they are paying attention by calming, widening their eyes, smiling and sometimes showing excitement. #worldbookday2025 @eoeneonatalodn @booktrust

We at EoeNeonatalODN completely agree. Following the amazing day our units put on today our working group/ SIG will be starting soon so we can keep the momentum going and really embed reading as an everyday activity on our neonatal units

On Swallowing Awareness Day, our amazing speech and language therapy team have been raising awareness about eating, drinking and swallowing difficulties (dysphagia). We're so proud of their work assessing and supporting children: evelinalondon.nhs.uk/our-services/h… #swallowaware2025
