@airmauritius please can you explain why you omitted to bring an entire plane load of luggage from Gatwick to Mauritius on flight departing 30/6 and whether we will get our luggage in time to not ruin our holiday any more than it already has been?

@SusanGuthrieSLT @LeedsandYorkPFT @LypftResearch @LeedsHealthcare Totally agree - I’m seeing a man next week, from what he told me I suspect undiagnosed DLD. He hasn’t disclosed a mental health condition, but is in a really difficult situation with social services that he can’t explain fully. NHS won’t see these people - he’s not my first…

@leon_clarkson @HeadwayUK @HeadwayLincs @_rehabilitate You were fab Leon! 😀

[Jennifer Benson @JBSLT]

Having a great time today at the @HeadwayLincs conference - really great feedback from my presentation this morning on #cognitivecommunicationdisorder, and some interesting conversations on the exhibition stand too!
