Shoutout to the @OxAHPPreceptor programme for introducing me to the “Control, Influence, Accept” model as a framework to help thinking about/dealing with issues/problems- have already used it in and out of work since the session on Weds 🤩💃👏🏼 #mySLTday #AHP

@NicholasBehn @CityLCS Hi Nick, if you were still looking for volunteers I’d be happy to help!

This is Anastasiia Yalanskaya 🇺🇦

She was killed yesterday, just outside Kyiv, delivering supplies to a dog shelter that was without food for 3 days

The car she was in was targeted at close range

Yalanskaya stayed behind in Kyiv to volunteer as everyone fled around her

“There’s a lot more that could and perhaps should be said to patients about, not just existing but actually living life with a condition” https://t.co/BrcoqtZUve – very applicable to #SLT who can help people understand & reflect on their neurological condition, and find meaning

1.5 years on and I still update this sheet weekly (as it's where I bookmark all my resources and track them). Enjoy 😁

#OTD My great-great-aunt Mildred Harnack was beheaded on Hitler’s direct order. Born in Milwaukee, she was 26 when she moved to Germany to pursue a PhD. As an American grad student in Berlin, she saw Germany swiftly progress from democracy to fascist dictatorship 1/9

It is World Religion Day today! In dysphagia practice, we often focus on the impairment of swallow function and overlook how this would affect their participation in cultural activities- like how would one enjoy Chinese New Year when being on an L4 pureed diet?

[East London NHS Foundation Trust (ELFT) @NHS_ELFT]

We are delighted to share the news that ELFT has today received its third consecutive ‘Outstanding’ rating from the Care Quality Commission (CQC); the first Community and #Mentalhealth Trust to achieve this rating for a third time.

My weekly visit to man with aphasia - we’re working on drawing to support his speech. Every week he prepares me a drawing from his favourite book. We discuss the details using written choices & supported conversation. @AphasiaDrawing (shared with permission)

Life as an NQP #SLT summed up nicely 🙃🙈 #mySLTday

“How’s it all going?”

British answer: “Yeah, not bad. You?”

Honest answer: “I don’t have a clue what I’m doing and constantly pretending otherwise leaves me exhausted. You?”
