Excited to finally see my PhD study findings published- positive functional communication outcomes for people with #globalaphasia after a new non-linguistic cognitive intervention. Hope this inspires more research with this group @UCLLangCog @SAPHP_CCCU https://t.co/GPCzbbHWr1

@BasAphasia my direct debit payment hasn't been taken and I can't log in to members area of website but when I click on the link to pay/renew it says website doesn't exist or can't be trusted. Can you please advise?

[Kathy Cann @KathyCann1]

What a brilliant idea. 🤩
So easy to do and for so much positive impact
Every stroke unit should have one!👍👏

@RCSLTpolicy @DHSCgovuk @MikeysWish_VDA @RCSLT @seoliphant @Fewtrella1 @dharford79 @GillianRudd @pamslater26 @leckiegeorgia @SLT_Francesca @about_speech @Bammo44 This reply is totally inadequate, focuses mainly on children's and community services with barely any mention of services for adults with acquired impairments and no mention of acute hospital services. Also the problem will not be solved by simply training more new therapists.

[MND Education @mndeducation]

Our information sheet 7A – Swallowing difficulties has recently been revised, with guidance if you have #MND and experiencing problems with swallowing, saliva or coughing.

Are you an #SLT interested in how we build therapeutic relationships with clients? We are looking for SLTs to take part in interviews exploring the development of therapeutic alliance. You don’t need to be an expert in therapeutic alliance to take part!
