This is utterly unacceptable, potentially unlawful & contrary to the recent independent Ipsos report. The adverse equality impacts are clear. Capacity to access & coordinate SEND provision in schools is being dismantled when transformation is most needed - bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-i…

Withdraw the 2023/24 budget for Northern Ireland @chhcalling
This could not be any clearer from the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child.
The budget will cause active harm to children and young people and breach children's rights. We need urgent action.

Tomorrow we will have a takeover from Jaci Porter, a SLT who works in the Gillis Memory Centre.
She will bring you along for the day to show you how SLTs can make a difference in the lives of those living with dementia. #MySLTDay

We believe AHP places will also be cut. This is unacceptable! Our workforce is already struggling to cope! – at Dundonald, Northern Ireland
The number of nursing student places in Northern Ireland is to be cut by 300 - a decision which @RCN_NI says will do "irreparable damage to patient care for years to come": bbc.in/452sejc

Fantastic talk by @maire_ring talking about an innovative pre-surgical MDT clinical for H&N patients. The importance of this clinic for patients and staff in preparing for surgery and it’s associated side effects is clear to see #prehabilitation #IHNS @SheahanPatrick

Important recognition by @SteveJamieson12, @RCSLT's new Chief Exec, of the consequences children & young people & their families are facing after years of failing to:
1) #FundSLT
2) properly plan for the #SLTWorkforce
All exacerbated by the #COVID19 pandemic.
A policy 🧵

Waiting times for children's speech & language therapy services are "deeply disturbing" says @SteveJamieson12 in today's @Telegraph. "It’s clear that speech and language therapy services are at breaking point.." telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/04…
