Learnt so much at UKSRG conference & loved presenting a Paediatric SLT ultrasound workshop with Dr Marloes Lagarde from Amalia Children’s Hospital in the Netherlands at this year’s @UKSRG2 @SwallowVision @ImperialPaeCH @WLCH_NHS

Are you an #SLT working in the clinical area of dysphagia? Do you have 20 min to help Jess with her survey to learn more about support for #QoL in #dysphagia practice?

My final year research project is looking into SLTs views around supporting quality of life with patients who have dysphagia. I would love to hear your opinions!

Thank you!
Attending many great talks at #ESSD2025 in Athens, and a great opportunity to present our work on using the compartmental tongue theory to reshape how we quantify tongue movement in swallowing.

What do we do between semester 2 and semester 1? Apart from marking, research, planning, designing and sorting on? We also do some public engagement! – at Edinburgh, Scotland
Curious about what happens when you are swallowing. Come join us this in-person workshop at the Curious Festival @RoyalSocEd and see your own swallow in real time!

Hot off the press! A beautifully curated paper led by @HelenNewmanSLT highlighting the inherent challenges of upper #airway #ultrasound - plus novel approaches to distinguish true #anatomy from imaging #artefacts.

No better way to celebrate our five year anniversary (& finding our way back to social media) than a paper from our very own @DrJoanMa1 & @awrench highlighting the unique application of ultrasound in understanding swallowing kinematics 🤩
Our study on ‘The Application of Ultrasound Evaluation of Swallowing to the Analysis of Hyoid Kinematics in Healthy Swallows’ is now out, in it we discuss our protocol & hyoid analysis.

We had a great day engaging with the young learners on the role of speech and language therapists and the use of #ultrasound in visualising speech and swallowing @ourdynamicearth career fair.
