Fun morning at the @NHSNWGames 5k with the youngest #teamlhch ambassador

[Ellie Collingridge @EllieCSLT]

Inspiring talk by @MsAnnaLiisaSutt at the #icssoa changing the game considering important patient outcomes in early tracheostomy with one way valve use

[Ellie Collingridge @EllieCSLT]

Great to see Cheshire & Merseyside leading the way in reducing unnecessary glove use in critical care @icsupdates @clark_samr #icssoa #glovesoffincriticalcare #mysltday

Affectionately referred to as the 'bisc & disc'

[SLT_LHCH @SLT_LHCH]

Great to see our patient's swallow recovery today after out of hospital cardiac arrest, she was thrilled to have her feeding tube removed and enjoy a biscuit #mysltday #mdtworking #postextubationdysphagia #dysphagia

Very interesting and practical sessions on FOTT from the lovely team at @ARCOSuk

[SLT_LHCH @SLT_LHCH]

The team had a great couple of days last week taking part in Facial Oral Tract Therapy (F.O.T.T.). It was inspiring to learn about this multidisciplinary approach and we can’t wait to apply this to our patients at LHCH after the next stage of training🧠💡

Congrats to our student @JinnSpeechly for completing his first adult placement 👏
Nothing like a bit of biofeedback to consolidate learning #mySLTday

[Jinn @JinnSpeechly]

The team knows how eager I’ve been to try this out and to look inside my larynx 😁 ‘Twas a funny feeling but has put a new perspective to my knowledge of our speech and swallowing!

[Ellie Collingridge @EllieCSLT]

Proud to be part of a trust that celebrates AHPs 🩺 #AHPsDay

[Hannah Rooney @HannahRooney1]

Very happy with our #AHPsDay poster showing a patient journey @LHCHFT & all the AHPs they’ll encounter along the way! (And yes we include our Ex Physiologists as part of our AHP family here) #inclusive @thecsp @theRCOT @RCSLT @BDA_Dietitians @CollegeODP @SCoRMembers

[Ellie Collingridge @EllieCSLT]

@Connie_SLT We have 'speech, swallow and voice department' embroidered on our uniforms and I think it really helps patients/families understand what we do. Communication and swallowing would be even better!

[Ellie Collingridge @EllieCSLT]

@HafsaMoollaSLT @annabelkay1 Great preparation! Agree with the other comments. I find it useful to separate the OME notes based on each cranial nerve. Would also include positioning, dentition and maybe a section on outcome. Relevant past medical history too if that doesn't come under history of prob 😊

[Ellie Collingridge @EllieCSLT]

@DoraGuyatt Definitely have these issues - every surgeon seems to use a different term! Very confusing for staff and patients. Our dietitians have created an 'upper GI menu' for pts and catering. If there's an oropharyngeal dysphagia, I usually run my recommendations past the surgical team.
