We are hoping to host a critical care study day at GSTT, aimed at SLTs. We want to tailor this to what SLTs would like to get out of the day. Please consider circulating this survey to your members + colleagues😊 @CEN_AAD @RCSLTTracheCEN @FEESVFCEN @RCSLT surveymonkey.com/r/HMRKNQK

So grateful a non-clinical team (and at college no less!) reached out to hear more about implementing our audit tool and guidance in the workplace. β‰οΈπŸ‘‚If you want to hear more about it, why not listen to our podcast (transcript too) on.soundcloud.com/Dn5p8aGuT7…
Last week, we were joined by Kate @AuDHD_SLT and Jess @jbmdavies of @uksltpride and the #LGBTQIA+ RCSLT Working Group, for a powerful presentation on the new guidance and resources πŸ‘ We thoroughly enjoyed the session and plan to use the audit tool as a team 🀩 Links below ‡️

Q1: Any #WeSpeechies able to help us with a supplier of triode electrodes for sEMG? We’re hitting a brick wall in finding anyone in the UK who still produces and/or sells them. Q2: has anyone tried using 3x single electrodes?! #DysphagiaRehab #sEMG #BiSSkiT #StrokeRehab

To avoid doom scrolling, my Saturday morning routine is catching up on the Bulletin. Great to (finally) read this article from @AuDHD_SLT @jbmdavies and to see @RCSLT giving guidance on LGBTQIA+ affirming work environments. I’m so looking forward to using this tool!

We completely and utterly disapprove and oppose Steve Barclay’s proposals to ban trans people from same-sex wards in the NHS and will work hard to oppose these changes when consultations begin.

Helpful visual for any newly qualified therapists wondering if they’ll ever get their break. It takes time to apply, and lots of patience, but it’s worth it in the end!
