@jen_chesters Thank you very much, was great to hear about your amazing work too! Another less considered impact of the pandemic.

This morning I presented my dissertation at the #RCSLT2021 conference. This afternoon I shook my protein shake without putting the lid on properly #lifebalance

@ChrisGPackham I heard you speak at vegancampout and really enjoyed it! You helped me shift my mindset and join the vegan gang 💚 We're having a sustainability focused assembly at our school soon and wondered if there's any chance you'd send a message for our students?

@JackGrifSLT It was such a nice way to assess!

[Laura Hewett (she/her) @LauraHewett4]

Carried out an informal assessment of a student while out for a jog together yesterday. Such a lovely way to build rapport and a really helpful chat!🏃🏻‍♀️ #mySLTday

@Chloe_smith_SLT Made good use of my lockdown training 😂

@ScottishWidows Glad to see things are changing

[Laura Hewett (she/her) @LauraHewett4]

@ScottishWidows seems to be an assumption here about having a husband or "civil partner". I'd hoped someday she'd be my wife! Obviously not if she wants my pension. #lgbtq #LGBTSLT

@jessemilylouise I've always wanted to set up a totally accessible ski resort. It would offer family holidays and snow related therapy 😁

@EmilioLees Thank you! Found it really helpful as a newly qualified SLT in an autism school 😊

[Laura Hewett (she/her) @LauraHewett4]

@GemmaLouiseWhi2 Fab news, well done you!

[Laura Hewett (she/her) @LauraHewett4]

@MabeCerys Consider that although someone has shared their true self with you that they may not be ready for others to know.

[Laura Hewett (she/her) @LauraHewett4]

@MabeCerys @SLTLauraC Big up to all the allies that offer listening ears. They may not have shared experiences but offer space to share. Naturally bringing partners up in conversation as they would with straight colleagues.

[Laura Hewett (she/her) @LauraHewett4]

@conniePC_slt Oh so exciting! You know so much and it feels much less scary than placement haha

[Laura Hewett (she/her) @LauraHewett4]

First day at my new school picture!

[Laura Hewett (she/her) @LauraHewett4]

@conniePC_slt Aah exciting! Are you feeling ready?

[Laura Hewett (she/her) @LauraHewett4]

@conniePC_slt Really well thank you. One student didn't like my shoes but you win some you lose some haha. Have you started yet?

[Laura Hewett (she/her) @LauraHewett4]

Proud to be a #LGBTQSLT 🏳️‍🌈
Grateful to all the allies within Speech and Language Therapy that have supported me so far and will continue to do so.
