Our Speech and Language team are celebrating #SwallowingAwarenessDay
Today is a time to raise awareness of how speech & language therapists (SALTs) help people living with eating, drinking and swallowing difficulties

Thank you for taking such good care of our young patients 🫶

As we approach Down's Syndrome Awareness Week and celebrate Keep Safe Awareness Day it seems perfect to re-share this brilliant video that we produced with I Am Me Scotland a few years ago explaining Down's syndrome 👇 Be sure to give it a watch!

I was asked recently “what are the socks about?” We use #LotsOfSocks for a bit of fun as they look like chromosomes and that extra chromosome 2️⃣1️⃣ gives people with Down’s syndrome their superpowers! We wear ‘odd’ socks to celebrate difference, I hope you’ll join us on #WDSD2024

[Eddie McConnell @Eddie_DSS]

After a very early start, now heading back home from London after filming with the fabulous @irishammond12 promoting her ‘RunAcross’ charity run (Lands End to John O’Groats) raising funds for @DSScotland and our sister charity @DSAInfo - watch this space!
