DHSC published its impact statement for the 10 Year Health Plan this week (yes, that is 6 months after it published the plan) It's more measured and clear-eyed than the original document and quite a contrast to some of the effusive optimism in the plan Some of the things that caught my eye 👇

When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.

A pleasure to be representing @basaphasia.bsky.social at the UK Stroke Forum this year in Aberdeen. And to be a small part of @abracabadger.com and Caitlin’s wonderful talk about AI and #aphasia rehab. #UKSF25

the curriculum and assessment review is 197 pages long and does not make a single reference to multilingualism. in England's schools, ~20% of children (~2 million children) are multilingual. this is just another example of how multilingual identities and knowledges get erased in policy and practice.

New @trishgreenhalgh.bsky.social paper #SLPeeps on conducting research case studies. Will likely interest #ClinAcSLTs (@clinacslt.bsky.social) and #BskySpeechies 🦋

Excited to share our latest article! We examined #SLP2b student experiences of a #StudyAbroad class focused on #dementia inclusive programs & the role of #SLPeeps in #dementia care. interpretive #phenomenological analysis #inclusion #cog-comm doi.org/10.1044/2025... w/ @learrington.bsky.social

Our M-MAT Tele study is offering 30 hours of aphasia therapy for people with aphasia following a stroke. It’s delivered over telehealth and available anywhere in Australia. For information see - aphasiacre.wpcomstaging.com/2025/09/24/m...

“The report’s main point is surprisingly simple: people living with #dementia can still set goals, learn strategies, and adapt their lives with the right support … #rehabilitation is about focusing on what a person can still do and helping them do it for as long as possible.” #slpeeps #cog-comm

On #FTDAwarenessWeek, we’re asking the world to learn about frontotemporal dementia, the most common form of dementia for those under 60. #dementia #ftd #frontotemporaldegeneration

What a grand day at the #RCSLT Scotland day. Delighted to be a part of this inspiring profession.  @sarahheatley.bsky.social & I shared the work we've been doing with collaborators in Dundee to create a communication accessible city. Hooray for the excellent NHS Tayside adult acquired SLT service.

So honored to contribute to this important work and push forward #discourse research for underrepresented aphasia populations! Congratulations to all my co-authors and the incredible ASAL team! Our paper is available open access: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

This set of co-produced priority research questions - should help people to target their applications for funding. It took me 4 years to gain funding! Hopefully a cohesive evidence base, fit to support people with #DevLangDis across the lifespan, can now be built 👏

People with #PCA, #PPA and #bvFTD get a life-changing diagnosis but little evidence-based tailored information. The @uclbrainscience.bsky.social -led BELIDE trial, tests an online post-diagnostic educational programme co-designed with families to fill this gap💻👉: bmjopen.bmj.com/content/15/9...

💭 Planning an economic evaluation for a #stroke or #aphasia study? 📊 We compared the EQ-5D-3L & SAQOL-39g ⚠️ We found use of the EQ-5D-3L in economic evaluations including people with aphasia requires caution. 📖 Why? Read the paper here: link.springer.com/10.1007/s111...

New paper for #SLPeeps, which suggests that sentence repetition, nonword repetition, a parental questionnaire, and a task measuring semantic and morphosyntactic comprehension contribute the most to identifying DLD in bilingual children. #DevLangDis
