Happy swallow awareness day!! Here at @LHCHFT we are raising awareness by launching a poster on silent aspiration across wards & ITU. It was insightful to speak with patients and hear about their stories and experiences☺️

We had a great CPD session today learning all about the principles of accent method and how we can apply these in therapy for our patients. We also discussed components for a comprehensive initial voice assessment for patients post surgery/extubation🤗#inservicetraining #voice

The team have enjoyed supporting @MicahLiverpool this Christmas in their Reverse Advent Calendar to support families and individuals over the Christmas period.

We had some great FEES supervision today. We used past FEES images to practise describing abnormalities which will support with report writing and understanding of when to seek advice from ENT colleagues🔍#FEES #dysphagia #supervision #CPD

Nearly the end of SALT week at @LHCHFT
We've had a great time visiting wards and chatting with MDT colleagues, had some lovely feedback and gained a work experience student! #mysltday

Day 3 of SALT week! We’ve been sharing staff profiles covering a bit about us, our journey into the profession, biggest achievements and thoughts on what food/drink we would miss the most if we were NBM🤔
We’ve also been sharing fun facts - did you know the tongue has 8 muscles!?

[SLT_LHCH @SLT_LHCH]

Day 2 of SALT week! We are enjoying some fun activities on the wards including guess the number of teeth and lips, barrier games and discussing VF images. It’s great to see different members of the MDT getting involved! @LHCHFT

[SLT_LHCH @SLT_LHCH]

Today marks the start of our SALT week @LHCHFT !! Find us across the hospital to learn all about the SLT profession. Come and guess the celebrity and hear out about how SLT has helped them overcome speech, language, swallowing or voice difficulties😁👄🦷

Amazing CPD session from @claytonjo_lpl this week, hearing about inducible laryngeal obstruction. It was great to find out more about its presentation, pathophysiology, diagnosis and intervention. Always great to soak up Jo’s knowledge and hear about her innovative work🤯
