Following liaison with palliative care teams and bereaved families, a small working group of #SLTs have produced this helpful advice sheet for loved ones and staff caring for people at the end of life.

Proud of our service @RotherhamNHS_FT who support and raise awareness of #dysphagia and are developing our new instrumental FEES assessment service to guide management #SwallowAware2023 @rotherham_ahps @SYB_ICS_AHPs @RCSLT @_SVS_Associates

I’m not leaving Twitter just because there’s no staff and the infrastructure is crumbling. I’m prepared for this, I work in the NHS.

Today I’ve been learning about surgical voice restoration after total laryngectomy. I had a go at prepping and inserting a voice prosthesis into a fake patient! The word ‘flange’ was mentioned a lot. #mySLTday #HeadAndNeckCancer @RotherhamNHS_FT @rotherham_ahps

I’ve been thinking about this piece for a year. There’s so much more I could say. The only thing that matters is that Martha should be alive today…

@ginni_bb @lisntell @drkathrynmannix Please can I join in? I’m an SLT who has never been part of a book group before! I’ve listened to @drkathrynmannix’s brilliant first book ‘With the end in mind’ and am part way through listening to ‘Listen’. #SaLTBookGrp

I attended an engaging and informative session presented by CNS Caroline Parker of @TRFTSCT this afternoon. Wrote lots of notes and geeked out making them into a slide show to feed back the rest of my #SLT team 🤓 @rotherham_ahps #TRFTproud #mySLTday #PalliativeCare

Now I want to call our larynx model Throaty McThroatface instead of Larry! What do you reckon, @RadfordSlt? #larynx #mySLTday #voicetherapist

[North Mid Speech & Language Therapy @NM_SLT]

Huge thanks to @NorthMidCharity for funding this #laryngectomy model which will transform our training of @NorthMidNHS #AHPs,#doctors & #nurses, leading to safer care of this vulnerable patient group. We’re open to name suggestions…#notboatymcboatface @HeadNeckCEN @HeadNeckNorth

I’ve got a new job on Monday afternoons! I’m working in the Head and Neck Cancer clinic with @RadfordSlt and the rest of the H&NC team. My new clinic room has a Princess Anna air freshener. It was meant to be ☺️ @rotherham_ahps #TRFTproud #mySLTday #speechie

Teamwork makes the dream work!

From our covid isolation, I’ve not had to cancel a single patient or clinic @RotherhamNHS_FT thanks to video consultations and me on a laptop in face to face clinics 🙌🏻 Thanks team for your support this week🙂 #telehealth @AnnaKellySLT @AbiEleriStarr @rotherham_ahps #mySLTday

Communication & safe eating & drinking are basic human rights.

But too many people with communication & swallowing needs have not had the support they need during #COVID19

Help change that by signing @GillianRudd's #BuildBackBetterSLT #FundSLT petition.
