@CarolineJM26 @MonashHealth @aphasiacre congratulations @CarolineJM26 no doubt great things to come!

[Tracy Sheldrick @TSheldrick]

@aphasiacre So exciting well done!!!

[Tracy Sheldrick @TSheldrick]

#aphasiaCREchat Thanks all, I have to run. I have loved hearing all the ideas and look forward to reading some of the links/articles I have bookmarked along the way. Thanks for organising and supporting those of us that are novice twitter users! @aphasiacre

[Tracy Sheldrick @TSheldrick]

@jacmac58489821 I think also making it formal research added impact and it has been referenced many times in the organisation and helps towards progressing improvement, great work @jacmac58489821

Q4

[Tracy Sheldrick @TSheldrick]

#aphasiaCREchat I really believe in consumer / client stories. I think they provide that emotional connection and are more likely to make people want to change/improve communication skills and behaviours

[Tracy Sheldrick @TSheldrick]

@JoWat Yes I love that comment and also helping them share their own stories as able @aphasiaCREchat @JoWat

[Tracy Sheldrick @TSheldrick]

@SpeechieRuth @tshedrick I am also a newbie! We are keeping up with the times @SpeechieRuth

[Tracy Sheldrick @TSheldrick]

#aphasiaCREchat PPE has challenged all healthcare communication, even for those that would not usually have difficulties. There are people who are more vulnerable than usual and we have needed to get creative. Telehealth has actually been easier/better in some cases

[Tracy Sheldrick @TSheldrick]

@Neuro_BITE I hear you, and agree. I am interested to hear about the how people have managed to get success with training, confidence etc... Using the Aphasia SCAA training with student SP certainly has positive outcomes on the above @aphasiacre @Neuro_BITE

[Tracy Sheldrick @TSheldrick]

#aphasiaCREchat Q3 There are foundational health comm skills and there is the extra skill required to support people with additional communication needs that requires training. Comm is everyone's business so engagement at all levels in an organisation is important for change

[Tracy Sheldrick @TSheldrick]

#aphasiaCREchat Q3 I wonder often about this. Knowledge, skill and the desire for behaviour change on the part of the healthcare clinician all interplay

[Tracy Sheldrick @TSheldrick]

@SpeechieRuth @tshedrick #AphasiaCREchat Hi Ruth, nice to tweet with you. We have also found it with the children we see. In the brief time they were in clinic they were very scared of all the PPE @SpeechieRuth

[Tracy Sheldrick @TSheldrick]

@ConorGilligan18 @JoWat @aphasiacre @MeredithAllan It would be great to know a bit more about this, teaching for knowledge, skill and behaviour change has always been of interest, keen to hear your strategies #AphasiaCREchat @conorGilligan18

[Tracy Sheldrick @TSheldrick]

@kebabby_mae @aphasiacre #aphasiaCREchat can't wait to hear more about your outcomes @kebabby_mae

[Tracy Sheldrick @TSheldrick]

#aphasiaCREchat Q1 At a systems level knowledge and skills of SP with regards to communication are important as we aim to enhance the way health services can embed communication supports in practice

[Tracy Sheldrick @TSheldrick]

#aphasiaCREchat Q1 At a clinical level it is important SP (as part of a team) understand and advocate for our clients to ensure they are engaged to the best of their ability in healthcare conversations and their true capacity is realised

[Tracy Sheldrick @TSheldrick]

#aphasiaCREchat I manage speech pathology & audiology at Bendigo Health. My experience is as a SP working with adults in public health across the continuum. Healthcare communication is critical for safe and high quality care, it’s important we shine a light on this crucial topic

[Tracy Sheldrick @TSheldrick]

@melmcintyre @SpeechPathAus @jacmac58489821 @EmmaMcSLP @annreinhardt3 @Melinda41942383 A great opportunity to collaborate and learn together. Happy #SPweek

[Tracy Sheldrick @TSheldrick]
