We’re recruiting! 📣

Great opportunity for a newly qualified or soon-to-be qualified Speech & Language Therapist to support our post-stroke communication research study.

Perfect for SLTs or final-year students interested in aphasia & research.

New paper from Sophie Roberts & colleagues: people who spent more time in education before their stroke performed better on language tasks from an aphasia assessment. Educational background should be considered when interpreting aphasia assessment scores. https://t.co/8vWhGwtNTT

In celebration of #IWD2024, we asked Rachel Bruce, Deputy Chief Investigator for @PLORASResearch, about her work researching speech and language recovery after stroke, and what advice she would give to women just starting out in the field! 🧠 #WomensHistoryMonth #InspireInclusion

[Emeritus Professor Linda Worrall AM @aphasiologist1]

The best advocates for better #aphasia services are people with aphasia themselves with the support of family, friends and professionals. Pls tell all your aphasia community about this conference in Coventry, UK 14&15 April, 2024. Register here:

@nsajidt, @PLORASResearch, @wchn_ucl analyze fMRI data from human participants performing speech repetition tasks, providing evidence for the existence of multiple, degenerate neural pathways capable of facilitating auditory repetition.

🚨NEW RESEARCH ALERT🚨

New study using a blended psychology intervention for low mood after #braininjury or #stroke 🧠

We are looking for people with #acquiredbraininjury to take part in a study which uses a new mobile app to help with low mood! 📱
