Julia, our amazing SLT assistant, strikes again with innovative & patient centred solutions! ☺️ Her patient's electrolarynx, which they rely on for communication, had snapped and they were struggling to keep it nearby whilst they're an inpatient on a ward.

Our guidance on acquired brain injury is out for consultation. We're inviting input from SLTs, relevant organizations & the public.

We want to hear from individuals w/ brain injuries & their families to ensure the guidance is comprehensive & inclusive.
