Breaking my Twitter hiatus with a small plea - any speech and language therapists working in ENT / voice / upper airways who I could chat to for some advice please?
@Amy3amz @Talk1stCNTW @TEWV@jobrackley I was there on Wednesday - your talk & videos were incredible and will really stick with me. Thank you so much for sharing your story. It makes us all want & need to do better.
@EmilioLees@DivergentSLT Completely agree! We’ve had a lot of discussion in our team about the awful ableist language in them. And as a concept I don’t feel they fit at all. Just 😡
A powerful exercise to illustrate being a person who is restricted e.g. in long term segregation. I wrote down 5 most important things to me + person sitting next to me took 3 of them away. The thought of being without them was unbearable. @Talk1stCNTW @jobrackley#RRN
🚨 Band 5 Speech and Language Therapist jobs in inpatient mental health! Come join our wonderful team 😊 I’m more than happy to have a chat / answer any questions if you might be interested. https://t.co/zUJ47a4tnD #sltsinmh#mysltday
@jobrackley @SLT_Kimu76 @MCAsupporttool @SusanGuthrieSLT @AmyHird5 @myamaraSLT Hi @SLT_Kimu76 would love to be involved! Feel free to send me a message 😁
@cjsscen @susan_gowland @cntwahp @CNTWNHS My wonderful clinical lead @AmyHird5 wrote this training and is currently on maternity leave. But we could do it jointly when she’s back next year? 😊 thank you for asking! 🙌🏻
It’s #AHPDay! I spent the morning talking about the role of communication in reducing restrictive interventions. Proud to be an AHP, and Speech and Language Therapist. @cntwahp @CNTWNHS
@amberlouiseSLT I asked RCSLT this question when working in community LD - said there wasn’t any specific guidance. The team I worked in previously had a general rule of 5 patients per working days (so 25 for 1WTE) - but in reality caseload size just increased as you became more senior.
An enjoyable morning delivering training to our preceptor nurses in Central CBU. Talking all things speech, language and communication & the role of Speech and Language Therapy 🗣✍🏻 Plus look at this autumnal sunlight! 🍁☀️ @CNTWNHS
Most mental health services & therapies are verbally mediated -with the high prevalence of language & communication needs in this population, it's vital that SLTs are embedded in mental health teams to support access to required interventions #WorldMentalHealthDay2022#SLTsinMH
