What are the signs and symptoms of dysphagia?
If you or someone you care for has any of the symptoms below, seek a referral to your local speech and language therapy service for specialist assessment #SwallowAware2025

[Jenni Brown @JenniBrownSLT]

Today our Neonatal physios have been trying out our #SwallowAware2025 activities, thinking about the amount of effort it takes to eat various textures & how hard it is to eat when we take away precise movements. We’ve had fantastic conversations re: physio & SALT overlap #MDT

[Jenni Brown @JenniBrownSLT]

In community services, we support children across a range of settings including schools, homes and nurseries, ensuring everyone involved in the child or young person’s care is aware of the recommendations in place #SwallowAware2025

It’s swallowing awareness day! Today, speech and language therapists raise awareness of the impact of eating and drinking difficulties and discuss how we can support those we work with. Looking forward to getting everyone involved in some fun activities today! #SwallowAware2025

[Jenni Brown @JenniBrownSLT]

Fantastic day at the @NWNeonatalODN conference today. So many inspiring contributors with such passion for supporting and developing neonatal care. Looking forward to working with our teams to implement some of the strategies shared #nwnodn25

Alder Hey community speech and language therapy team joined in with the annual Christmas song! Who can you spot?! This was so much fun to do! 🤶🏻 🎅🏻 🎄

[🏥 Alder Hey 💙 @AlderHey]

Each year, we ask colleagues to come together through music by singing a popular Christmas anthem 🎄🎶 This year's song is @MichaelBuble's classic 'Holly Jolly Christmas'. We were delighted so many teams took part, here's how it turned out... 👀

On #WorldPrematurityDay24 we are thinking about the impact of the neonatal experience on the mental health and wellbeing of parents and carers. You can share your story, and read those of other parents, using #NeonatalFeelings

[Jenni Brown @JenniBrownSLT]

This is a great idea Lizzy @AtkinsonThe

@EE Also advised his current supplier that he is switching (which he never requested) so he faces his current supply being switched off! Yet more time on the phone trying to avoid that.

[Jenni Brown @JenniBrownSLT]

Terrible customer service from @EE! My 70 year old father has spent 4 hours on the phone trying to cancel an order that he never placed. EE admit the order was placed incorrectly by them, but still keep sending out routers & want to charge my parents to return them! #EE

[Jenni Brown @JenniBrownSLT]

@EE I’ll pass this on but I feel this is not a suitable response when the fault is entirely EE’s. This has been ongoing since the beginning of October. To advise that we phone AGAIN is extremely frustrating. Not only have EE repeatedly sent routers which were not requested, they have

[Jenni Brown @JenniBrownSLT]

@EE Your response is for my father to do exactly what he has been doing, calling @EE with no resolution… As mentioned he has already spent hours on the phone to your company.

Abraz, a young adult with DLD from the UK has shared these strategies that help him at work:
