Tweeting about #SLT issues in Scotland

[Gill Main @IntegrationMgr]

To my awesome #AHP colleagues across Lothian and the UK, you are the change, you push boundaries, and positively challenge the system for the better. Happy #AHPDay2023

One of the worst lies we tell ourselves is that doubling down will bring change

Truth is, change will always be harder for some & an opportunity for improvement for others

‘the strategy of “continuous improvement” is not just an asset, but a necessity’ https://t.co/DUEkO6jSMD

My pal @Joford1212 writing for the Scotsman about Young People with communication difficulties. Jo has a real talent for supporting Young People with profound communication difficulties to express themselves & improve the outcomes that matter most to them. https://t.co/P4liRkybYi

Well done for demonstrating collaboration across health boundaries is possible. 👏🏻

Coverage in @edinburghpaper of our call to protect children's speech and language therapy services - these are the wrong cuts at the wrong time.

[Gill Main @IntegrationMgr]

“Relocation without rehabilitation is […] a sad regression.

The government must acknowledge that effective care for older people lies at the heart of an equitable, effective, & ethical H&SC system. Secondly, we need recovery plans to be based upon evidence-based approaches”

[Gill Main @IntegrationMgr]

“The root of these difficulties lies in long-standing failures to grasp the nettles of social care reform and rehabilitation.

Rehabilitation has suffered from sustained deprioritisation and underinvestment.”

Fantastic visit to @NHSBorders speech & language therapy service this week. Great discussions about the profession, well-being and what next. Thank you for the… I was going to say warm welcome. The welcome was warm, the room was freezing! But loads of fun! @CypSlt @RCSLT

@AilsaCook @PeeblesElouise @MidlothianHSCP 💡for me was understanding when we ask people to be responsible for things they can’t control in complex systems we can end up with data for the things they can…& that’s often just ‘data gaming’. Finding ways to understand, analyse & articulate contribution = meaningful learning

[Speech and Language Therapy @AdultSLTs]

Lots of SLTs in scotland have made a start here

Get in touch with @RCSLTResearch if you are using job plans

(@RCSLTResearch you should probably get in touch with @IntegrationMgr who has shared her work with Scottish SLT leads)

[RCSLTResearch @RCSLTResearch]

We are currently working on some resources to support with job planning for SLTs.

We are keen to hear from services using job plans as well as those who are interested in finding out more.

Read about the project here: https://t.co/eSayGJGHqG

[Gill Main @IntegrationMgr]

Triple loop thinking is Rolfe’s reflective model on steroids. An essential part of effective and sustained transformation and lots for complex systems to take from this.

[Speech and Language Therapy @AdultSLTs]

there are definitely a number of SLTs out there who would be great at this …

[AHPF Scotland @ahpfscot]

For the next few weeks we're thinking about Selective Mutism.
This is a rare anxiety disorder where people are able to speak , but find that they cannot in certain situations. It’s not about being ‘shy’ and it's not about making a choice to communicate.
