Yesterday, I attended a forum at UCL on supporting children with speech and language challenges in their early years. It was inspiring to witness many professionals sharing their experiences and strategies for aiding children's development. 📖@clarrysmith @KateShobbrook

This is so important. We were trained that thickened fluids were the only option. They’re not, and in fact, the evidence is inconclusive about their impact. It’s time for us as a profession to stand up for evidence based interventions. Patients deserve better

With health and care having to constantly adapt to changes – from global pandemics to the advent of artificial intelligence – rapid evaluation is an approach whose time has come.

We're pleased our #RSET project has received a further 5 years of funding.

Shockingly, data obtained using my statutory powers & published today shows that nearly 6,500 16-17 year olds were homeless last year.

This is not acceptable. Children are children until they are 18 and deserve to have a safe & stable home.
