Today is Swallowing Awareness Day 2023! We have lots of activities planned today to help spread awareness of dysphagia (the medical term for eating, drinking & swallowing difficulties). Keep your eyes peeled to see what we get up to throughout the day 👀 #SwallowAware2023 RCSLT 💙

SLTs and the wider MDT use the IDDSI framework to describe the modified foods and thickened fluids we may recommend to patients with dysphagia. This framework ensures recommendations are clear and standardised- have a look at the framework: #NHWeek #SwallowAware2023 RCSLT 💙

This week I am sharing a little about my role as band 8a clinical lead for the acute SLT team Newham Hospital SLT at @NewhamHospital. Yes, it's already Tuesday so I am a day behind with #MySLTDay but will catch up with myself soon 😉

#MySLTDay yesterday ... more to come today! You can tell when it's very busy, because these posts land a little late! 😅

#MySLTDay - as the week draws to a close I feel a sense of satisfaction and achievement, but am glad to welcome the weekend ☀️. Tomorrow: a friend's Swedish midsommar party at their family's vineyard, and I think I've earned the 🍾🥂

The Therapies Dept, Newham Hospital team engaged in a team building session at the end of June, where we discussed how we live the Barts Health values, the behaviours we promise never to exhibit, and some new values-based commitments for the future. Feeling inspired😃

Happy AHP Day all! We celebrated in style Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust. So proud of team SLT, as my larynx cake won the QEH bake off and the gorgeous Helen Sampson won at UHL with her chai SLTea cake!! #SLTTakeover 😂
