Humans are hardwired for connection. Even without words, moments of connection are vital. Eye contact, gesture, smiling, handshakes, waving, singing, dancing, sitting, being. Connection is key. #WithSLTuCan

I know how valued these books are by people living with dementia and many of my patients with language-led dementia @christineahp @gilbeato @volkmer_anna @RosemaryTowns15 #PPAawareness

[Geraldine Ralph 💙💛 @ger_ral]

“Connection is key” #WithSLTuCan

[AHPDementia @AhpDementia]

Demystifying dementia with children/ grandchildren helps to maintain family relationships & reduce stigma. Simple explanations & easy communication strategies cultivate connection. Connection is key. #WithSLTuCan

[Geraldine Ralph 💙💛 @ger_ral]

#SwallowingAwarenessDay , in the middle of Nutrition and Hydration Week. We are raising awareness with RCSLT posters outside our department, and showing solidarity with our patients with dysphagia by having a “bring and share texture modified lunch” 🥣 @nhsggcsaaslt @RCSLT

[Parkinson's UK Excellence Network @ParkinsonsEN]

It's #SwallowingAwarenessDay !

Speech and language therapists (SLTs) play a valuable role within multidisciplinary teams, helping to improve patient outcomes.

See how they can help manage dysphagia for people with Parkinson's and other conditions👇

#WDAD2025 Raising awareness on “World Delirium Awareness Day” in the SLT department at The Royal Alexandra Hospital. Everyone has a role to play in spotting the signs of delirium. “Are they different today?” 🤔 @NHSGGCClydeAHP @christineahp @gilbeato @nhsggcsaaslt 🦑

Love this 🥰

[AHPDementia @AhpDementia]

Photographing daily activities on your phone can support recall & serve as a useful conversation starter. Catalogue the day & label it together as a way of keeping track, reminiscing & sharing details together later. Show & tell. #WithSLTuCan

Lovely mention for Jen @nhsggcsaaslt 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[RCSLT Scotland @rcsltscot]

During an Awake Craniotomy at @NHSGGC, SLTs like Jen Bowers used NeuroMapper tech to monitor language and cognition in real time. This innovation enhances patient outcomes by safeguarding vital communication functions during delicate procedures. https://t.co/1UibsSUsbx @RCSLT
