Well done Julie, very proud of all the things you’ve achieved on placement! We all wish you the best of luck 🤩💫
5-week block placement w/ @BHRUT_SLT completed ☑️ Special thanks to @S_J_W_9 & @EllenOG_SLT who have given me endless support and guidance. ❤️ I have gained so much confidence and am able to do things more independently now. Feeling ready for the next placement already! 🤗🎉

Palpable feelings of excitement this morning at the @BHRUT_NHS vaccination hub! Feeling very relieved to get to this moment. Such an efficient operation, huge thank you to all the staff there working hard to get us all protected 💪🏼 #NHSCovidVaccine

Effective communication depends not only on the person with communication impairment... but also on the partner having the ability to listen and interpret: ‘the partner is a major factor in the success or failure of many interactions’ (Light 1988). @TalkingMats #SLTCPD

This week has been particularly busy and at times I have felt less confident in my abilities as an #NQP. This card from a patient’s family really reassured me, and reminded me just how impactful our job can be on patients lives #mySLTday #SLT #Strokerehab

Absolutely love doing #swallowing assessments in the community - really great to use people’s own choice of food and drinks instead of the trusty gluten-free madeira cake (no hate lol) #mysltday #ESD

“A cow might calve. New life. It lifts the spirit, covid can never rob us of that.” A heart warming video and gorgeous example of the Irish language at its finest! #lockdown #COVIDzero
If Covid has you feeling a bit down, have a listen to these men - living alone through #Lockdown in the west Kerry Gaeltacht. They might lift your spirits. (with subtitles) https://t.co/rgMIQN4iGv

I tweeted yesterday about clinical engineering and the vital role they play and had a reminder about all the other incredible staff in the NHS that no one ever hears about and so to try and change that NHS Covid unsung heroes list

Peer supervision for the win!
It’s a challenging time to start as an NQP but B5 peer supervision provides clinical 📚& emotional 🧠 support. Agenda: ‘peak and pit’ of the week ✅ complex case discussions ✅ sharing therapy ideas ✅ #SLTPeeps shout if you agree CPD is always a priority 🙌🏻@RCSLT #NQPTakeover
