Having a brilliant week with people with #PPA & their families in our 6-day intensive conversation groups! Groups are so valuable for #SLT “It’s helped me know that others have as many difficulties communicating as we do” & “I like the strategies they all use”🤩

This month I’m looking forward to running two study days: - support, supervision and self care - working with people with CCD across the pathway. Email [email protected] to book your place.

I know how valued these books are by people living with dementia and many of my patients with language-led dementia Christine Steel Gillian Beaton SLT Dr Anna Volkmer Rosemary Townsend #PPAawareness
