🚨 The issues affecting the SLT workforce have not happened by chance. They are the result of years of failed workforce planning and under-resourcing of services. So, the need to #InvestInSLT is critical as is the Govt’s SLT Action Plan.

Big congratulations and woohoos to Steph (SLT Dysphagia lead) & Niamh (SLT Acute team lead) who have completed the @nhsuhcw Leadership Programme and recently received their certificates 🙌🏼🥳🎉

It was great to be part of the @nhsuhcw #AHPsDay event this week and to engage with the broad range of professions all represented there. Thanks to @RogersIsobel and Deb Gamson for volunteering for a (long!) FEES which drew a big crowd and lots of questions. #AHPDAY2025

Here's some feedback from one of the first-time attendees "My wife and I would like to thank you all for a lovely tea & cakes party for the laryngectomy people and friends. It was so nice to both meet and hear other laryngectomy people and be able to chat to them... 3/4

The group meets several times throughout the year, and has different activities, speakers and themes each time. Family members and friends are encouraged to attend as well. It's a fantastic group that is very much co-produced and patient centred 2/4

We are fortunate at UHCW to have a thriving laryngectomy group, organised by our wonderful SLT assistants, @alicebecila @julia_pennie @emiliamuntoni. They recently secured funding from @macmillancancer and arranged a fantastic afternoon tea at @CoombeAbbey. 1/4
