SLT student @UniofReading. Former SLTA on the HASU/ASU at Wycombe Hospital, and back there whenever possible. Loving learning later in life. #probablyreading
Nice to see apprenticeship student @EmilyASLT in this quarter's @RCSLT Bulletin discussing practical examples of making medical information / procedures more accessible for people with learning disabilities. #mySLTday#SLTatBCU
Our guidance on acquired brain injury is out for consultation. We're inviting input from SLTs, relevant organizations & the public.
We want to hear from individuals w/ brain injuries & their families to ensure the guidance is comprehensive & inclusive.

Not due to start my new #slt job with @BHTSLT for several weeks yet. But, was invited to a work social yesterday evening and popped into the office beforehand. Saw this on the office board. Love it!#gettingexcited#feelinglucky@BucksHealthcare
The wonderful Helen Moffatt was on @ThePianoUK yesterday evening! Helen has #PPA and wrote her composition all about how it feels to have these communication difficulties - what a ray of hope for others @RareDementia@dyscoveraphasia
Did Helen’s performance move you? You can now download her original composition ‘Out of the Box’ from our online shop with all proceeds going to @RareDementia - a support service that we proudly fund 💜 https://t.co/YjhQ2EGVCC
"In our uniqueness, we make harmony." I've been looking out for this episode of @ThePianoUK since Helen spoke about her #PPA at the recent PPA awareness day organised by @volkmer_anna and @RosemaryTowns15. Well done Helen, you communicate with huge eloquence. @RareDementia
This month I’m looking forward to running two study days:
- support, supervision and self care
- working with people with CCD across the pathway.

I got the job! From June, I will be working for the @BHTSLT Adult Community team. I loved being an #slta and a mature student, and am hugely excited to be nearing the NQP stage. Huge thanks to everyone who has helped me get this far. Dream come true! @RCSLTLearn@BucksHealthcare
