Use of total communication methods for patients to support decision making with Pippa Johnson, SLT& Mental Capacity Specialist Practitioner @Gerodontology#bsgsummerconference Putting together pieces of the jigsaw 🧩
Grateful to be invited to the @Gerodontology conference today to talk about AAC for older adults with progressive conditions, and how supporting their decision making helps us fulfil the principles of the MCA
We urge the next UK Government to #InvestInSLT.
The current shortage of Speech and Language Therapists is not working for two-thirds of stroke survivors living with communication problems.
More investment is needed for stroke survivors to make their best possible recovery.
I had a great day presenting at the @MC_CEN_SaLT day last week. Meeting so many passionate and knowledgeable SLTs was inspiring
At its core the MCA is about supported decision making and championing the patient voice, and SLTs are a specialist workforce who fulfil this vital role
Wonderful reminder from @includeorg that “laws are important- but can only be effective if the people know about those particular laws” - we need more tools to support people in their decision-making! @MCAsupporttool @sophiecborrett @oliviatheSLT @talkaboutsam
@MC_CEN_SaLT We are so excited 👏 our summer study day 2024 is tomorrow! We are looking forward to meeting all of you who are coming & hearing from the @Include Champions & Pippa Johnson about the work they are doing to raise awareness amongst the public of rights under the MCA.
