The thing about Bluesky is - it’s just a vastly better product. It just… works. No ads, no bots, no hate, no abuse, no algorithms pumping out slurry & burying your friends. It’s fun. Actually fun over there.
I know this may not last.
But take the plunge. It’s great 🩵

@BrueraEduardo pearls:
Measure outcomes that matter to pt, not bosses. No point dying @ home in agony.
Don’t get suckered into proving interventions work if already proved elsewhere.
Don’t let bosses degrade your practice! Don’t get forced to do in 15min that needs 40! @ANZSPM

Today’s ponder 💭
🟣 do we over medicalise dying from frailty and old age?
🟣 Have we lost sight of natural aging and dying process?
What do you think? 🤔

We really need to stop making it so hard for NHS staff to go to work
A huge number of NHS workers have to cope with inadequate public transport, insufficient and unsafe parking for cars and bikes, and exorbitant costs
Something needs to be done urgently - please RT if you agree

We need to develop the capacity to support people in the community, including the ability to rapidly respond to changing circumstances.
🏥 Hospitals across Scotland will be able to more accurately anticipate when patients need to be admitted to emergency departments thanks to researchers harnessing the power of artificial intelligence.

Fellow speechies - would you be interested in a specific EDAR CEN??? Idea would be to make it very practical in terms of navigating this complex area, esp in light of current legal landscape. Please comment or send me a msg if you would be! @RCSLTLearn #SLT #EDAR

Head of Scotland @Glennetal will be speaking at the COVID-19 Inquiry tomorrow in Edinburgh. It's a crucial time to highlight the essential role of speech & language therapy in pandemic preparedness & response, particularly addressing the impact on children's communication skills.

We wish we could eradicate ‘just a’ from NHS vocabulary.
Every single person plays their part, and it couldn’t happen without everyone.

By prioritising prevention and early intervention, occupational therapists help people manage their health and reduce the frequency and need for crisis interventions and care services.

‘Eating okay’
What does that mean?
Two mouthfuls of cornflakes?
Half a sandwich (later vomited)?
Full meal & dessert?
Eating okay means nothing.
