After a busy summer followed by a bad bout of flu, I am back online to continue to share SLT content for our Medway students and colleagues. Welcome back our BSc students and a big welcome to our new MSc students.

Well done to all the winners and nominees. I am honoured that I (Sam Cobbing) have personally been a part of the Neurodivergent working group, contributing as a lead author in part of new guidelines for ND SLTs, so an extra special well done to them. Neurodivergent SLT Network

It’s here! Contributing to this was the hardest, most emotionally draining writing I’ve completed. However, I know it is one of the most important texts to be written on the #SLT profession and that it will inspire many reflections and conversations @mariammaliks you did it!!!!

Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay. MHFA England® have some great resources available to help yourself and those around you.

What a fantastic lecture today on spirituality from nursing lecturer, Diane Norton. There was a lot of thought provoking conversations and it certainly gave us all a view into how and why we should consider our future patient’s spiritual and religious needs.

#2in30 children have Developmental Language Disorder (DLD), yet most people don't know about it. This #DLDday, watch and share Darcie's story, help us raise awareness and support children living with DLD👇speechandlanguage.org.uk/dld

Congratulations S20. Best of luck with your future careers.

All people requiring speech and language therapy should have access to timely & high-quality therapy, when and where they need it, to have their needs met. The RCSLT 💙 was pleased to cowrite this article on rehab and hospital discharge with colleagues from WHO and AHP colleagues.

Thank you to the Kent and Medway Communication and Assistive Technology Service (part of Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust) for hosting S22 yesterday. It was a fantastic training session on AAC devices and how the team work to support young people with their communication.

Thank you for providing us with such an engaging lecture today Elisa Valdez & Tanya. Along with an informative afternoon with Prof. Omorogieva Ojo it was great for S22 to get to know more about the MDT we will be working with in the future.
