Fantastic #AHPsDay. Recorded videos with a colleague for upcoming dysphagia simulations. Manned the speech and language therapy table with @bammo44.bsky.social at university, and spoke to lots of students and other staff about the profession. #mySLTday #bskySPEECHIES

Attended Keele University's SimFest conference yesterday.
Good chance to meet wide range of healthcare colleagues across the university and region, and see range of approaches to simulation. #mySLTday #bskySPEECHIES

Really interesting RCT looking at the effect of using IQoro device on patients with acquired brain injuries with tracheostomies compared to normal practice. No difference in decannulation/trache outcomes. IQoro actually worse on dysphagia outcomes! #bskySPEECHIES link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Sad to miss final-year undergraduate and last year's master's students graduate today. I was supposed to be on the stage! I had to teach physiotherapy students (though that was fun too). Watched the ceremony afterwards. MSc start at 30:50 and UG at 55:10. www.youtube.com/live/zj7w26v...
Congratulations to graduates from our Faculty of Health, Education and Life Sciences

Getting through the rest of this quarter's RCSLT Bulletin. Really enjoyed Fiona Aspray's article on supporting people with learning disabilities to vote in the 2024 general election. Topic close to my heart having done this myself in 2019. Excellent support provided. #mySLTday #bskySPEECHIES
