I love listening to people stories, I think it’s one of the main contributing factors for why I feel so privileged to be an #slt & #ahp - this itself makes me smile!
Why not get involved & share your stories?! #NationalStorytellingWeek
It’s the 2nd day of #NationalStorytellingWeek (and the last day of January, how did that happen so quickly?) and today we’d love you to tell us about a memory that instantly makes you smile....... Get that #storytelling happening!
