I've now fully read these & feel strongly that it is one of the rare articles that can have such an immediate impact on SLT clinical practice. I really hope that this is the start of ensuring equitable and knowledgeable SLT services for people with functional symptoms.

6 hours of online Expiratory Muscle Strength Training today instead of being out in the 🌞! Totally worth it though! I can now use this evidence-based therapy to improve several existing clients' swallowing and many more in the future! #EMST

@SharonGibson3 retiredteacher vaccinated & boosted, pro choice Shunichi Nakagawa Historically thickener was used++ for people with swallowing difficulties but it can cause more problems (increased residue which can be harder to clear, higher risk of infection if aspirated etc). Some people find it helpful, many people dislike it. Quality of life and.. 1/2

When I had a stroke a few years ago. I was lucky enough that some friends recognised the symptoms. Because I was “young and fit” even the medics didn’t take it seriously. If in doubt, hassle!!! Face Arms Speech Time #PassFASTOn #WorldStrokeDay Stroke Association

It’s #WorldStrokeDay today. Please keep sharing the FAST symptoms to encourage people to get help quickly. I just tested out my children and they didn’t know…they do now! #passfaston
