Board game created with NHS Education Scotland to help health & social care staff improve communication skills & support people with communication support needs
During #COVID19 NHS staff still need ongoing training. Face-to-face is not always possible.
So, we have FREE 'serious' games to help staff improve knowledge via their phone. Bite-sized learning that offers a useful distraction. Please share https://t.co/BHZFmO0N8A
westmidrcslthub: Morning All. As SLTs we have a super power > our specialist understanding of COMMUNICATION. How can we use this as a force for good to influence & advocate?
@CareEngland Looks like fun. You can recreate this experience in the workplace with 'serious' games. They are effective with staff and service-users for training and engagement. You can see some board games designed for social care and LD here https://t.co/xZXtf57JmT

@Comm_Game Played this game this time last week at #LA_day_2018 and learnt so much about #communication, the people who need support. they type of support, how many...we found it fascinating, interesting and fun! 🎲🙂
Adapting the way you communicate can really help when someone has communication difficulties. Some ideas include using your hands to help convey your message, keeping a pen and paper handy, or using pictures/symbols to support communication
Communication is a basic human right, the means through which we control our existence. Estimates suggest 50%-90% of people with learning disabilities have communication difficulties. How can you communicate more effectively with people who have LDs? Please share. #BILDFactTweets
