This is a tough time for Matt, the son of my SLT friend. He needs our help to access treatment that could extend his life. Please consider donating or sharing to raise awareness. Every bit counts! gofund.me/224e5c19

The 'RCSLT How-To: Formal Assessments' elearning is now live! Each module focuses on a specific assessment and takes the user through how it works, who it's for and when to use it. It also includes videos of the assessment being run! Check them out at rcsltcpd.org.uk

Hey, @CityLCS students - have a go at this fun phonetics word search from my friend @TStarrMarshall - find all 10 colours!
#SLT2Bs are often high achievers. For those about to go on placement @SLTatBCU , consider adopting the ‘mindset of a learner’ and be kind to yourself. This article may help: Here are four ways to embrace being a beginner theguardian.com/commentisfre…

We love aphasiatherapyonline.com
A FREE (yes, free!) aphasia therapy resource by @JohnPierce85 that was designed for people who can't afford an iPad & apps or computer software. Offered in 5 languages, with more on the way, this is a great part of an aphasia therapist's toolkit

Having tonsillitis for the 1st time has been eye opening, spent 29 years thinking it was just a sore throat 🤒Placed myself on IDDSI Level 4 but gone dramatically to NBM overnight (though may have to consider a risky feed later 😂) does this count as dysphagia competencies…?

Twitter friends, I’m considering starting a You Tube channel next year to dump all my #aphasia presentations & add new ones + interviews. A playlist for researchers, SLP clinicians, PWA, FM’s & other stroke professionals? Useful? What shall I call it? What do you want from it? – at Gold Coast, Queensland

After 31 yrs @BCUHELS I have finally retired. I’m going to miss these lovely people so much. It’s been an absolute privilege to work with & learn from them. @lannydoc @Inclusionista_1 @HopoTom @victorialundie0 @RightonTracey @CHartleySLT @Bammo44 @CarolGlaister @SLTatBCU
As I prepare to retire, look at this amazing gift from a student. As a child I could never get a personalised keyring,room plaque etc as they never did my name. Finally! @CHartleySLT @lannydoc @RachelHatchard @victorialundie0 @Inclusionista_1 @Bammo44 @MelaniePacker72
Over 35 yrs ago a child plucked some privet from a hedge on his way to SLT & proudly presented it to me. I put it in water & he was really chuffed. It’s moved with me & is still in a pot today but needs a prune. We see lots of kids & remember many @SLTatBCU #SLTmemories

I wonder what these wonderful dancers are doing now?
I have found this frankly wonderful archive of a Northern Ireland primary #school disco in the 1960s while working on a report and it might be the best thing I’ve ever seen.
