Instead of Twitter whinging about lack of awareness of AAC and the SLT role, I decided to do something about it and whipped up a quick infographic! (Not like I'm on annual leave or anything... 🙈)

Feedback is very welcome (especially for any typos I've missed)!

As #SLT we know supporting people with #aphasia to set goals is important. But they tell us they don't like the word 'goal'... what word do you use? @aphasia_CEN @LANCEN_SLT @BasAphasia @KateSwinburn @FirleB @aphasiologist1

[Jodi Allen @JodiAllenSLT]

‘Dysphagia was reported to significantly impact medication adherence’

An inability to swallow prescribed medication comes at huge cost. That’s why I’m a firm advocate of #SLTs evaluating the #holistic impact of a dysphagia on a person’s ability to swallow #notjustfoodanddrink🙋🏼‍♀️

Final challenge for the year - awake craniotomy & language mapping. Stoked to learn from the best and brightest, thanks team @RLHNeurosurgery and @A_Fford 🧠✨

[FEES & VF SLT Clinical Excellence Network @FEESVFCEN]

Now listening to @L33Bolton outlining the complex and essential relationship between respiratory, swallow and oesphageal function and why as SLT's we should be exploring this more. #innovative

[Dr Freya Sparks @FreyaSparksSLT]

Thought-provoking chat with Vital project diversity advisors. Do we have ethnicity &diversity data for the #laryngectomy population? How do we ensure our services are inclusive of all communities if we don’t know who they are? Can anyone point @HeadandNeckSabs and I to this info?

[Anna Forde @A_fford]
