🧵1. You might be surprised to see me share something non-SLT related. This is personal to me as I lost my mum to breast cancer at a young age. I now have primary breast cancer at a young age too. This disease has caused havoc to my life and many others.

I enjoyed reading this wonderful and inspiring article - thank you Hazel Roddam, FRCSLT & Amit Kulkarni for advocating for this all important #SLT role - NIHR Research have an amazing array of funding that #SLT s can benefit from!
