So excited to be watching and hearing #LUNAAphasia and all the hard work from so many people over the years to get to this point. Looking forward to learning the takeaway points to use in my clinical work to help clients tell their stories @CityLCS @TheStrokeAssoc #mySLTday

@anna_westaway @GivingVoiceUK @RCSLT Not sure Lord Ramsbotham counts as "in the public eye" but I've always loved this quote from him.

[Helena Gruenstern @Helena_G_SLT]

Fantastic training from @cuespeak today. A fabulous, user friendly app to deliver person-centred speech and language therapy with up to date content developed by #SLT @JonHuntSLT . Love that it targets multiple levels of lots of impairments 📱💻#telehealth

This is my ‘anniversary’ today, 12 years when I had my #stroke... But look at the things I’ve done after 😍🧠💍🏡🐱🦠 #hope #aphasia

[Helena Gruenstern @Helena_G_SLT]

@VPSpeechie Ah brilliant thank you! I can’t DM you for some reason! Can you DM me your email?

[Helena Gruenstern @Helena_G_SLT]

Fantastic day at #MCCEN My take away points are: educate others about all the stages involved, and that an MDT approach is needed where an SLT’s role is to aid communication. I also loved these competences and would like to trial in community @MC_CEN_SaLT

[Helena Gruenstern @Helena_G_SLT]

@VPSpeechie @MC_CEN_SaLT Hello @VPSpeechie I am looking to develop these MCA competencies in the community. Would it be possible to have a copy of your inpatient ones? I will of course acknowledge you when trialling and adapting.

[Lauren Smallwood @SLT_LaurenS]

👇🏼Great question, and one that generated lots of healthy debate! How many of you use free water protocols or are steering away from the over prescription of thickener? There seems to be mounting evidence against its use for a way to minimise the risk of aspiration on its own! 1/2

Thank you @itvlondon for giving Speech and Language therapy some air time and raising awareness of communication difficulties. It’s great to share the changes being made to #SLT practise to ensure people are still able to have meaningful conversations despite COVID-19

[ITV London @itvlondon]

Face-to-face therapy is shut down in lock down - but a 'communication cafe' is open.
Language therapist Sam Bowman gives those with speech difficulties a place to talk.

So....this happened yesterday and 'Come Together' cafe was on the ITV London news! Very proud of @talkaboutsam for her fantastic explanation of what #slts do and for promoting the profession and the value it brings to people's lives 😍@itvlondon @RCSLT #mySLTday
