A recent student has been helping me with reviewing the quality of our clinical notes. We found this article about choice of words in EPR documentation and impact on quality of patient care. It really resonated with her, so thought I would share! jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

We held a Speech Therapy Department Share & Learn day today - what an absolute joy to be surrounded by such talented, ambitious & thoughtful colleagues. Super important moment in coming together & celebrating each other's achievements 💙 Do you have department days too?

What kind of content do you like seeing on Bluesky? Research articles? Discussion threads? Leadership & management topics? Thoughts and musings??? Keen to hear 👂🏽 #bskyspeechies #slpeeps #wespeechies

Very much agree. I wrote this3 years ago&very little (if anything)has changed “We’ve normalised really,really bad working conditions for NHS staff for decades so that now going for a wee in the middle of your shift feels like a treat.” @katestakes.bsky.social www.independent.co.uk/voices/nhs-b...

Are you an adult community SLT in the UK? Want to give your views on the SLT role in communication in #dementia? We're looking for a couple more participants to join a final online focus group on Monday 2nd Dec at 11am. Email me: [email protected] for more info. #bskySPEECHIES

A colleague & I just facilitated a round table discussion on Eating & Drinking with Acknowledged Risks at the Thames Valley Geriatric Medicine Registrars' monthly teaching day. Absolutely buzzing - what a great group of people. Openness to debate, shared problem solving, and a true MDT spirit 💙

Quick note: It’s not radical to want our public services to work properly, or for children to have enough to eat and a warm home.
