Sports pundit Martin Tyler is renowned for his voice (who can forget *that* iconic moment) - but recently he came very close to losing it.
Luckily, our teams of doctors, nurses and therapists were there to help๐ฝ

Hereโs Beth and Angela - wonderful therapists supporting swallowing awareness day !! So important for our patients with these challenges - please visit them in AMW ground floor @StGeorgesTrust and find out more !!
#swallowaware2024@NHWeek ps they are amazing at what they do ๐
Exactly a month into my #NQP acute role and I canโt wait to tick off two big firsts tomorrow:
- supporting a FEES for pt who has been distressed by their cough when drinking for months
- A joint with a MCA practitioner to assess a patients capacity around ceilings of care
Ending placement & my whole MSc course with a training to 30 HCAโs was so rewarding and quite fitting rounding up a summary of everything we have learnt communication & swallowing wise! Congrats @JGaisfordSLT we did it!! ๐ฅณ
Really enjoyed learning more about their learnings so far and the benefits of #biozoon for dysphagia management. Now for seeing it in clinical practice one day!๐ค๐ผ
Our Continuing Care #SLT team ran an open lecture about how we use flavoured foam to enhance quality of life for some patients @RHNuk with chronic, severe dysphagia. If you weren't in the lucky 500 who attended, the lecture will soon be available on our YT https://t.co/EbnAOAuaXs
Saw my first FND patient on placement today! Such an interesting communication presentation and sparked lots of discussion with @JGaisfordSLT and our PE ๐ง So helpful to now have this in mind when reading up about it! #FND#slt2b
Itโs still sinking in that I had my first interview to be an SLT this morning - whatever the outcome I canโt believe Iโm actually at this stage! Just research project to hand in on Friday, then final placement before qualifying (๐ค๐ผ) ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ #slt2b
