This is so important. We were trained that thickened fluids were the only option. They’re not, and in fact, the evidence is inconclusive about their impact. It’s time for us as a profession to stand up for evidence based interventions. Patients deserve better
🛩️Best of luck to Rebecca Prior, one of the Stroke and Neurosciences Physiotherapy assistants @nnuh taking part in a skydive to raise money for our Neurosciences department. Bex has never been good with heights, so jumping from 13,000ft will be a challenge! Find out more👇

UK based #SLTs - are you able to get hold of the @EMST150 device? One of my patients REALLY needs it. I’m told it can’t be imported due to Brexit 😢 Please tag anyone you think can help 😊
End of life communication goes far beyond decision making.
A patient who is unable to speak typed out a note on an iPad for her husband. It was all of the usernames & passwords for their accounts.
“He’s clueless and has no idea how to pay our bills.”

Dear @DrHilaryJones and @GMB The main treatment for #aphasia is speech and language therapy not music. We have level 1 evidence to show SLT is effective for aphasia. Please correct. https://t.co/mDuKDlI8jG #GMB#DrHilaryJones
