Busy week marking salt2203 yr 2 case studies and salt1201 conversation partner reflections - great to hear about yr 1 experiences (based on model by sally mcvicker & connect) and great to see how year 2 theory adds to practical skills learnt in year 1 @DmuSlt @DMUHoSAHS #aphasia

Salt2004 apraxia of speech teaching - thanks to people with aphasia and apraxia of speech (past and present) for sharing their videos with us - showing theory in practise is invaluable #aphasia #aos @DmuSlt @DMUSLTprogramme @DMUHoSAHS

Before you jump into the To Do list spend a bit of time planning. What are the really important things for this week? Block out some times in the diary. And ideally start one right now. Then deal with all the crises. #PhDchat #ECRchat #postdoc #PhDforum
