Humans are hardwired for connection. Even without words, moments of connection are vital. Eye contact, gesture, smiling, handshakes, waving, singing, dancing, sitting, being. Connection is key. #WithSLTuCan

So proud of my colleague Leigh getting the recognition she deserves for the care that goes into compiling life story books for people with communication impairment. facebook.com/share/p/1ERm4fR…
I know how valued these books are by people living with dementia and many of my patients with language-led dementia @christineahp @gilbeato @volkmer_anna @RosemaryTowns15 #PPAawareness
“Connection is key” #WithSLTuCan
Demystifying dementia with children/ grandchildren helps to maintain family relationships & reduce stigma. Simple explanations & easy communication strategies cultivate connection. Connection is key. #WithSLTuCan
The first #PPAawareness day is here! Raising awareness of the importance of our work supporting people with PPA, and the huge benefits of life story books 📚 💕 @volkmer_anna @RosemaryTowns15 @RCSLT @GivingVoiceUK @nhsggcsaaslt
Dessert 😋 @nhsggcsaaslt #SwallowingAwarenessDay Level 5/6 puddings devoured! And smoothies to sample 🧉🥤
#SwallowingAwarenessDay , in the middle of Nutrition and Hydration Week. We are raising awareness with RCSLT posters outside our department, and showing solidarity with our patients with dysphagia by having a “bring and share texture modified lunch” 🥣 @nhsggcsaaslt @RCSLT

It's #SwallowingAwarenessDay !
Speech and language therapists (SLTs) play a valuable role within multidisciplinary teams, helping to improve patient outcomes.
See how they can help manage dysphagia for people with Parkinson's and other conditions👇

#WDAD2025 Raising awareness on “World Delirium Awareness Day” in the SLT department at The Royal Alexandra Hospital. Everyone has a role to play in spotting the signs of delirium. “Are they different today?” 🤔 @NHSGGCClydeAHP @christineahp @gilbeato @nhsggcsaaslt 🦑
Love this 🥰
Photographing daily activities on your phone can support recall & serve as a useful conversation starter. Catalogue the day & label it together as a way of keeping track, reminiscing & sharing details together later. Show & tell. #WithSLTuCan
Malnutrition Awareness Week at the RAH ☕️🥪🥣 Thanks to @FionaZycinski and Leigh for all their hard work on our SLT stand 👏🏻👏🏻 @nhsggcsaaslt @McGee0915 @gilbeato #UKMAW2024
Lovely mention for Jen @nhsggcsaaslt 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
During an Awake Craniotomy at @NHSGGC, SLTs like Jen Bowers used NeuroMapper tech to monitor language and cognition in real time. This innovation enhances patient outcomes by safeguarding vital communication functions during delicate procedures. uk.news.yahoo.com/woman-unde… @RCSLT
