This years anatomical model. Becoming a tradition to do this with my toddler. Think I might inadvertently be teaching the next generation of Speechie. I am excited to see how the profession evolves over the next few years. #swallowawarenessday

#wohd2023. This is a problem that is only going to get worse with the changing demographics of older people. The impact of dental pain and a filthy mouth in older vulnerable people is significant. We need to look at our workforce and invest more in services for older people

Absolutely brilliant, potentially life saving stuff from This Morning. Finally female breasts shown just like mens. A normal but miraculous part of anatomy that sometimes feed children. Wonderful to see this huge step forward educating people on day time TV.

Any community #SLTs out there working predominantly with an ageing and health/dementia/frailty caseload? What outcome measures do you use or have found useful/not helpful? Grateful for any titbits! Please re-tweet 🙏 RCSLT 💙
