Today is #SwallowAwarenessDay2025. We're raising awareness of dysphagia, which means difficulties with eating, drinking or swallowing. Dysphagia can be life-threatening.

#HCPCregistered speech and language therapists provide help in many ways. A great resource from @rcslt 👏

Swallowing Awareness Day 2025 has finally arrived!
We’ve enjoyed sharing some patient stories @Leeds_Childrens and we have enjoyed sharing this special day with our @LeedsRadiology colleagues carrying out swallowing X-rays

Thought provoking afternoon for the Adult SLT team. Thanks to @kevhouse1 for an excellent presentation, instilling positivity, and challenging how we manage ourselves and our wellbeing! 🐒📚

[Helen Bevan @HelenBevan]

Improvement toolkits & good practice databases are useful but they only take us so far. As much as 80% of the knowledge in an organisation isn't written down. It's not a failure of documentation. it's to do with the nature of the knowledge and the way it gets spread. That's why it is critical that we make time & space for networks, communities of learning/practice, huddles & sharing conversations if we want change & improvement to happen: https://t.co/10ikbAwVBe. Thanks @nickknoco

Fantastic to see @AmySweetman_SLT @ChloeS_SLT flagging the SLT flag and sharing awareness of dysphagia #SwallowAware2024 @LTHTTherapyCSU

[Catherine Hayes @CatherineHayes3]

Two of our amazing Acute Med SLTs @AmySweetman_SLT and @ChloeS_SLT are in Gledhow Wing all morning, with loads of info about how we can support patients with eating, drinking and swallowing difficulties. Come and say hi 👋 #SwallowAware2024 @ltht_slt @slt_debbie @PaulaHendron

[Helen Bevan @HelenBevan]

In our change & improvement efforts, we typically focus on what we want to start to do, or do more of. We find it harder to stop doing things. Researchers conclude that people systematically overlook subtractive (do less of) changes & are missing an opportunity. @corp_rebels say we should a) remind people & b) bake subtraction into everyday work: https://t.co/X61Snh2cQe. Here's a toolkit on strategic subtraction for meetings from @asana: https://t.co/iQ9bZDdCYD. Graphic: @FerraroRoberto
