At #RCSLTConf2023, Shauna Bell & Andrea Horgan (UCC) spoke about how online Aphasia Cafes can reduce the "pressure" of participating in a group, allowing people to "ease" into socialising, once again underlining the importance of #personcentred#SLT input.
Today, I'm at #RCSLTConf2023, listening to some great presentations which offer new insights into our practices in different areas of specialism within #SLT (Speech and Language Therapy). Thank you to @CygnetGroup for being the headline sponsor for this event.
Absolutely outstanding work @BootsUK … please retweet #dentaltwitter, the more people that know about this initiative the better. A small caring step for a respected organisation like @BootsUK but one that can make a huge difference to the lives of many. Thank you 💙

#MySLTDay was a fabulous one! Absolute highlight was joining @euancrobertson 's new debate group on our #CAMHS#PICU and seeing the YP totally rise to the challenge. The immediate impact on self confidence when one YP realised they'd expressed a really good point was phenomenal.
.@SamanthaJPower tells @maitlis US voters should be “deeply worried” by President Trump’s refusal to commit to accepting Nov’s election result if he loses: “he’s been laying this predicate for a v long time, the more his polls drop the more he talks about voter fraud.” #Newsnight
I don't think there's anything makes me sadder or angrier than hearing about people's communication aids being taken away, "forgotten" or ignored. #AAC is vital, not optional
