TOP TIP: If your mind feels too busy right now, try this simple trick to bring you back to the present moment...
*Name 5 things you can see, 4 things you can touch, 3 things you can hear, 2 things you can smell and 1 thing you can taste*
(works well with little ones too!)

Super exciting delivery ready for #PECS training next week! I've learnt so much already from observing my very talented colleagues! @scft_yourfuture Feeling very grateful for these opportunities whilst working for the NHS! @scft_pdteam #AchievingAmbitions #SLT

[Bianca Dent @BiancaD_SLT]

As an NQP SLT 3 months into her first post, I can confirm the learning never stops! Looking forward to getting to grips with the Progression Tools this afternoon thanks to @ICANcharity

[Bianca Dent @BiancaD_SLT]

How fantastic! Looking forward to seeing a sea of symbols as more businesses sign up....perhaps even pin badges on staff who have accessed the training would make it nice and clear too??

A summary of my first two months as a Speech and Language Therapist:

- @accuRx
- PPE
- Peppa Pig
- Bubbles (the kind that must not be popped)

I've even managed to squeeze in some amazing CPD on trauma, attachment and SLCN - Thanks @Melaniespeechie
