Shoutout to the @OxAHPPreceptor programme for introducing me to the “Control, Influence, Accept” model as a framework to help thinking about/dealing with issues/problems- have already used it in and out of work since the session on Weds 🤩💃👏🏼 #mySLTday #AHP
This is Anastasiia Yalanskaya 🇺🇦 She was killed yesterday, just outside Kyiv, delivering supplies to a dog shelter that was without food for 3 days The car she was in was targeted at close range Yalanskaya stayed behind in Kyiv to volunteer as everyone fled around her
“There’s a lot more that could and perhaps should be said to patients about, not just existing but actually living life with a condition” tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… – very applicable to #SLT who can help people understand & reflect on their neurological condition, and find meaning
1.5 years on and I still update this sheet weekly (as it's where I bookmark all my resources and track them). Enjoy 😁

#OTD My great-great-aunt Mildred Harnack was beheaded on Hitler’s direct order. Born in Milwaukee, she was 26 when she moved to Germany to pursue a PhD. As an American grad student in Berlin, she saw Germany swiftly progress from democracy to fascist dictatorship 1/9
Excited to be part of such a supportive NQP programme! 🤩
It is World Religion Day today! In dysphagia practice, we often focus on the impairment of swallow function and overlook how this would affect their participation in cultural activities- like how would one enjoy Chinese New Year when being on an L4 pureed diet?
We are delighted to share the news that ELFT has today received its third consecutive ‘Outstanding’ rating from the Care Quality Commission (CQC); the first Community and #Mentalhealth Trust to achieve this rating for a third time. elft.nhs.uk/News/CQC-Rates…
Our 5yo was having confidence issues because she wears hearing aids. Now we're in the park til dark as she dances joyfully, pretending she's Rose on @bbcstrictly (I have to play the judges!). @RoseAylingEllis has changed how she sees herself & the world. What a beautiful gift.
Reminder that if you would like some company on Christmas Day, we will be here chatting all day. Follow me or use the #JoinIn hashtag and I’ll see you there.

My weekly visit to man with aphasia - we’re working on drawing to support his speech. Every week he prepares me a drawing from his favourite book. We discuss the details using written choices & supported conversation. @AphasiaDrawing (shared with permission)
Want to learn how to interact with people who have a brain injury? We have developed a free online course about communication after #TBI or #ABI, funded by @icareNSW. Sign up at bit.ly/interact-ABI-l…. Watch: youtu.be/rifkwsVyh00
Me, throughout the entire season of #GBBO #greatbritishbakingshow #impostorsyndrome #insecurity #selfdoubt
A quick British translation guide: Meanings of "we'll see" 1. No Meanings of "maybe" 1. No Meanings of “could do” 1. No Meanings of “I’ll think about it” 1. No Meanings of “let’s talk about it later” 1. No Meanings of “I’ll see how I feel” 1. No
as I randomly aspirated and choked on my own saliva for the 5th time that day, I couldn’t help but wonder: was *I* the one who should be on a level 3 diet?
