@SLT_michaelay This is BEAUTIFUL! I'm sure that every single patient in your care will have as positive an experience as your grandad ☺

@StN_Freda Amazing Freda, huge congratulations!!! @boltonnhsft would be lucky to have you

Always brilliant for awareness to be brought to disabilities, but this article highlights how much further there is to go with language like 'forced to use a machine to communicate', 'confined to a wheelchair'.

These are valuable tools that promote expression and independence.

MND Association Director of Services and Partnerships, Sally Hughes, recently spoke with the @DailyMirror about motor neurone disease as they covered @ITVCorrie character Paul Foreman's final episode.

You can watch it tonight from 8pm on @ITV.

Super proud of all her hard work!

A wonderful start to the week: the news that Aaisha for passed her dysphagia exam!! A fantastic achievement for her, and for the Band 7s who supervised her throughout🥳🌟

@revcathfrog Hope your Monday is far better than your Sunday!

[Lydia ⭐ SLTAP & Wellbeing Champion @LydiaTheSLTAP]

@ejgarner85 A quick glance at your bio and this tweet tells me you are one busy lady, absolutely grafting to build a better life for yourself AND your boys

It's hard. They grow so fast. But when they are grown they'll love and respect you all the more for the work you're doing now ❤

[Lydia ⭐ SLTAP & Wellbeing Champion @LydiaTheSLTAP]

@CR_futureSLT No real advice, just a massive, massive hug. How awful.

I wouldn't recommend this when things are very raw, but in time you might find The Stars Will Still Be There helpful, it's a book written by the mum of Laura Nuttall, a young lady stolen by brain cancer.

Good morning lovely #SLTPeeps

We found that our Parkinson's communication group was very poorly attended this year so we're rethinking and rebuilding to bring it back better than ever. Any tips on holding groups would be much appreciated!

[Lydia ⭐ SLTAP & Wellbeing Champion @LydiaTheSLTAP]

@HMiniSaLT @SLTatBCU @The_HCPC AAAHHHH brilliant, must be an amazing feeling after all your hard work! Congratulations!

[Lydia ⭐ SLTAP & Wellbeing Champion @LydiaTheSLTAP]

Very sad to come in to work this morning and see this! I remember when they lived on Newport Street and I was barely tall enough to clamber on them.

[Lydia ⭐ SLTAP & Wellbeing Champion @LydiaTheSLTAP]

@Boo_Global I'd be very tempted to say 'here's some work you can do' and hand her the mop haha!

[Lydia ⭐ SLTAP & Wellbeing Champion @LydiaTheSLTAP]

@Boo_Global Spilt milk or not, this is definitely a 'if you don't laugh you'll cry' situation! At least little one appears to be having a great time

[Hannah Crush Hiles @HannahHiles]

My mum’s book group read @DrMichaelMosley’s Just One Thing recently and one of them produced this summary of his brilliant, sensible, achievable advice (that we could all benefit from following!) #MichaelMosley #RIPMichaelMosley

[Lydia ⭐ SLTAP & Wellbeing Champion @LydiaTheSLTAP]

@LaurenBoothSLT Have a great time and enjoy the food- I hear it is the stuff of legend!

[Lydia ⭐ SLTAP & Wellbeing Champion @LydiaTheSLTAP]

@revcathfrog Sorry you're suffering Catherine, good luck with the exercises

[Lydia ⭐ SLTAP & Wellbeing Champion @LydiaTheSLTAP]

@CR_futureSLT This sounds like SUCH a valuable resource, well done! We get tonnes of referrals that state difficulty taking tablets, either in isolation (we can't accept) or alongside difficulty with food and fluids

[Lydia ⭐ SLTAP & Wellbeing Champion @LydiaTheSLTAP]

@carolinenewson There are simply no words that can well enough describe the sadness. My heart breaks for every single child and family who has known this terrible darkness.

[Lydia ⭐ SLTAP & Wellbeing Champion @LydiaTheSLTAP]

A lovely morning covering dysphagia theory and practical with our students and dietetic Band 4. We thickened various fluids and discussed what drinks we would choose if we were recommended different levels.

[Lydia ⭐ SLTAP & Wellbeing Champion @LydiaTheSLTAP]

So saddened by the news of Rob Burrow's passing. He brought so much awareness to MND, but also to AAC and voice banking. How many people felt hope hearing him and realising they too could keep their own voice?

A legend in every sense. RIP Rob.
