Couldn't have done this without you @JodiAllenSLT! A highlight (and some of the strangest days) of my #nihr fellowship too!
Another highlight of my #NIHR fellowship was getting to work with @HelenNewmanSLT on her #NIHR fellowship 🤩😍
A unique, if not surreal, experience using novel methods to understand the impact of #ultrasound artefact on upper airway assessment. Amazing work Helen.
Almost 6 years after conversation that sparked the research proposal, yesterday I passed my PhD viva 🥳🥳🥳 Apparently it was stressful! Mostly pre-nerves, examiners helped make it a great experience 🙏 @NIHRresearch @RoyalFreeNHS @BCFTherapyTeam @RCSLTTracheCEN @global_gtc

Know any former ICU patients or family members who would like to be involved in improving ICU at a national level? Please put them in touch with us! #PPIE #ICU

What a whirlwind 10 days! PhD submitted last week, #SOA24 to present 3 of the workstreams - 2 posters and a slot in @Swallacesl31246 and @emaroids1 's tracheostomy session, and got to catch up f2f with 6 of my supervisors/clinical steering group (it takes a village... )
Really enjoyed presenting my basic science ultrasound work at #soa24, great questions from the judges 🙏 Also great presentations on cutting edge AHP ultrasound @JodiAllenSLT @danni_dietitian @sonophysio and on AI applications @ICUltrasonica lots to think about for ICU SLT!

Was a pleasure to support the fantastic #RightToRehab campaign today highlighting the importance of rehab to support survivors of critical illness across the whole recovery pathway. @ICS_updates @thecsp @nhsuhcw @covcampus
Everyone has a #RightToRehab, but rehabilitation isn't available everywhere in the UK.
Today we're proud to support our partners in the Community Rehabilitation Alliance in meeting MPs to call for an end to the postcode lottery.

Great day put on by @acmedsci to showcase early career Clin Ac research and a chance to present my PhD benchtop findings on the effect of size of trache tubes on WOB!

Today we’re thrilled to launch our Gloves Off in Critical Care Implementation Guide!
Following the response to our poster campaign in May, we wanted to provide our community with a tool for embedding the change in their own units.

Five weeks post our #London #ultrasound ‘dabble day’ & only FOUR WEEKS until #Birmingham 😃
Keen to learn more about applications of #ultrasound in #SLT #assessment & #management of:
🗣️ Speech
🫁 Airway
☕️ Swallowing
👅 Head & neck muscles
Snap up one of TWO remaining spots 🙋🏽
PhD related thing I never thought I'd do #793: read a chapter of a coding book *and* understand it!! 💪 Didn't even fall asleep! 28 chapters to go..

Great visit and discussion today, with Scottish Government, here to see ground breaking research, including CASL's @DrJoanMa1 (@RoyalSocEd fellow) and PhD student /SLT Gemma Cartney with @SwallowVision project. @rcsltscot #ultrasound
Today, we were delighted to welcome back @MathesonMichael, Cabinet Secretary for NHS Recovery, Health & Social Care, to hear about QMU’s work supporting health & social care recovery post-COVID.

Bit of a milestone on Friday - last bit of PhD data collected!!! It's been a journey to get here... now just to analyse and write it up! ✍️#Phd #trache @nihr @ClinAcSLT @RoyalFreeNHS @RoyalFreeChty @BCFTherapyTeam @RCSLTTracheCEN
Peer support during my PhD has been like antenatal group support with a newborn - most challenging roller-coaster ride, nothing beats talking it through with ppl going through the same thing, same time! 🙏 to my #PhD buddies!
Thank you for sharing! The last of our focus groups on #trache sizing is this Friday (30th), online, 16:00-17:30. The link to register is:
