🚨 @RCSLT is now very excited about tomorrow's first ever #DysarthriaAwarenessDay being launched by our fantastic #SLT2B at @HCS_Sheffield.

😠 @KateAllatt highlights it is essential we increase #DysarthriaAwareness so everyone with #Dysarthria is treated with respect.

[Faculty of Health | University of Sheffield @shefunihealth]

Speech is something many people don't have to think about, but what about those living with #dysarthria? Our Dysarthria Clinic is working with @sheffielduni students and staff to raise awareness of the condition by launching the first ever #DysarthriaAwarenessDay tomorrow (10/5)!

[RCSLTpolicy @RCSLTpolicy]

📢 Great for @RCSLT to see the @rcpsych call for more specialist services, including timely access to speech and language therapists.

🗣️ This is why we must continue to highlight the role of #SLTsinMH & the need to #SENDInTheSpecialists

Happy #WorldSmileDay

2 types of smile:

Pan American. Fake. Mouth turns up at the corners but nothing else happens

Duchenne. A genuine heart-felt grin. Mouth turns up, eyes sparkle, everyone’s mood lifts

Be contagious!

Improving how services work for older people holds the key to many of the problems currently experienced by the wider system. That is why it is vital to use #BGSBlueprint evidence, examples & recommendations to create a sustainable integrated model of care https://t.co/SRHQX40qJP

[Mili Doshi @MiliDoshi7]

The big issue is access to dental care for this vulnerable group. 1 in 4 residents can ‘never’ access dental care. This will increase levels of frailty. Dental pain = problems eating , drinking , speaking , dignity @Gerodontology @GeriSoc

Did you know that a million people over 65 are not eating enough to maintain their #health and #wellbeing?

Having nutritious and varied food becomes even more important as we age. @MalnutritionTF can help you look out for signs of #malnutrition: https://t.co/1A3EAEOIp0
