@Madden_McKeee The enthusiasm is palpable from this post. You popped up on my feed and brought me right back to when my partner got his offer. Turns out he (Jonathan Macdonald) met you as an F2. We wish you all the very best.

This is a very clever and informative paper: of 99 SLT students asked to consume pureed solids and mildly thick liquids for just 24 hrs, 60% didn’t/couldn’t. https://t.co/DsRV7OI2sg

Any community #SLTs out there working predominantly with an ageing and health/dementia/frailty caseload? What outcome measures do you use or have found useful/not helpful? Grateful for any titbits! Please re-tweet 🙏 @RCSLT

Absolutely brilliant, potentially life saving stuff from This Morning. Finally female breasts shown just like mens. A normal but miraculous part of anatomy that sometimes feed children. Wonderful to see this huge step forward educating people on day time TV.

[This Morning @thismorning]

Do you know how to check your breasts properly?

@Sara_Kayat shows you the simple way to check your breasts for signs of breast cancer. #ThisMorning

#wohd2023. This is a problem that is only going to get worse with the changing demographics of older people. The impact of dental pain and a filthy mouth in older vulnerable people is significant. We need to look at our workforce and invest more in services for older people

[Dr Margaret Coffey @mmcoffeystamp]

How fantastic is this resource? A repository of dysphagia VF exams to support teaching and research. Multiple aetiologies including paeds. All images 30 pps/fps. Thank you Phyllis Palmer #DRS2023 @Official_DRS @RCSLTResearch

Swallowing Awareness Day in
isolation with a toddler 🥴. After completing this (slightly anatomically questionable) model, I am even more in awe of the complex process that is 'the swallow' and how fortunate we are when we don't have to think about it.

@adultsltset @RCSLTNI

[Emma Macdonald @EmmaMac_SLT]

@claresteveSLT Oh thanks Clare...did a duplicate post and deleted this one but think itll still get you! Happy swallow awareness day :)

[Emma Macdonald @EmmaMac_SLT]

This years anatomical model. Becoming a tradition to do this with my toddler. Think I might inadvertently be teaching the next generation of Speechie. I am excited to see how the profession evolves over the next few years. #swallowawarenessday

[Emma Macdonald @EmmaMac_SLT]

@HannahLNewbold @swallowsgroup @AECCUniversityC thanks for the prompt....you inspired me to do some fun anatomy this afternoon also!

[Clare Stevenson @claresteveSLT]

Two of our brilliant Community SLTs with a #swallowaware2023 information stand in one of our day centres @lucyhobday_ and Charlotte keep up the sterling work. #askyourSLT @saltyadult @lorrainecoulte4

Raising awareness of dysphagia and the role of SLTs ahead of #SwallowAware2023, in support of the fantastic charity @swallowsgroup who help the lives of those affected by head and neck cancer.
