This is what I miss about pre-covid SLT life! I had my first face-to-face appt yesterday since September. This is my second week back at work after losing my dad to cancer. This drawing from a wee one on my caseload made me smile no end ☺️ #mySLTday

After hours in front of a screen doing tele consultations, I’m all cross-eyed & head is spinning. I miss the olden days of GP-ing. I’m a traditionalist so I appreciate I might be the only one with this view. Excited now for an afternoon of face to face appts. I just miss people!

@wmmc70 You know Wendy I frantically searched my pencil case for my mini ruler - PDPP 2 exam sprang to mind! A tip I will remember for as long as I’m an SLT 😂

[Ellis_SLT @EllisSlt]

Note to self: ALWAYS use a pencil when marking a CELF assessment, you will make mistakes 😅

Vaccinated a man today- when I told him I’m an SaLT he said: “You have no idea how much I respect your profession. I’m a throat cancer survivor and your colleagues saved my life. You gave me my life back when I had to relearn how to swallow. You’re truly underrated” ❤️ #mySLTday

@stammer_teacher Hi, SLT here 👋🏼

[Ellis_SLT @EllisSlt]

Hi all- I’m selling these books (cheap, none more than £10) if anyone is interested! Would be particularly useful for any SLT students 😋 send me a DM if interested #SLT2B #mystudentSLTday #mySLTday #SLTbooks

Starting to warm to video therapy as I just got to meet 10 baby chicks that one of the families I work with have 🐥 next week they’re bringing their baby lambs! A wee treat for the kids at the end of the session and me! The perks of rural community work 🐣🐑

[Ellis_SLT @EllisSlt]

@SymplifyApp Sure takes it out the wee ones after a hard day of ‘video bombing’ your VC sessions 😴🤣🥰

[Ellis_SLT @EllisSlt]

My new colleague (Billy the kitten) and I are ready for a day of virtual therapy. Billy is my shadow so it’s likely he’ll be a background feature of most sessions. We always talk about our pets during therapy sessions so I hope I can meet their little furry friends too 🐱🐶

[Ellis_SLT @EllisSlt]

@SLT_bethany Awww he is so cute 🥰😍 and I love his name!! Working from home is like bring your pet to work day everyday and I love it 🥰

[Ellis_SLT @EllisSlt]

@SLTRebecca Well done 🤩

Hey anti vaxxers-

This is what life is like when we don't have a vaccine for a very contagious disease.

Do you get it yet?

[RCSLT 💙 @RCSLT]

In response to Qs we've had re the key worker list, @NHSEngland has confirmed that this does apply to AHPs & SLTs as frontline workers. #RCSLTMembers pls discuss with yr schools directly what local arrangements are being put in place @rcsltpolicy @KGadhok @jkfillingham #COVID19

@rcsltscot @RCSLT Thank you very much, this will come in handy!

[Ellis_SLT @EllisSlt]

Can anyone sign post interactive resources for children to use during school closures? I have a couple of children I'm worried about being isolated during school closures and something interactive and educational could provide them with some positive input! Thanks in advance :)

To all my colleagues in Speech and Language Therapy who are at the COVID 19 healthcare frontline right now looking after patients - thank you for your expertise and service. So proud & humbled to be part of this profession. Very best to you all! @ClinSpeechTCD @iaslt #COVIDー19
