😍 Channel 4's 'Yorkshire by the sea'. #Yorkshire #Scarborough #Whitby #YorkshireByTheSea

🥰 What better to come back to after a few days off than seeing the announcement of RCSLT 💙's #RCSLTAwards2024 shortlisted nominees?! 👏🏻 Great stuff! 🥳 Congratulations everyone.

🚨 If you're currently experiencing a clash between 'Should I stay or should I go?' then check out these reflections from Chartered Society of Physiotherapy's Rob Yeldham (he/him).

👀 Seeing #ResultsDay2024 trending reminds me it is 35 years ago since I got mine. 🧐 How did that happen?! 😍 One of the things I remember most was going to see my Grandma, seen here with Yours Truly (not that day obviously), who hadn't slept worrying about my results.

❤️

🔍 Came across this 1986 House of Lords Question while doing ExPrimeMinisters' research. 🗣️ It was on shortage of #SLPeeps & occupational therapists & impact on their rehabilitation. 💪🏻 Need to sort this out so the same question can't be asked in 38 years. api.parliament.uk/historic-hansa…

🔽 I shared John Donoghue's tweet in the family WhatsApp with '#WelcomeToYorkshire'. 🚨 An Aunt revealed that when my Uncle was taken ill in #Scarborough and admitted to hospital, he saw this sign. 🤣 His response, 'Well, if I snuff it in here, you won't have far to take me'.

😍 Everyone knows how much I love seeing shameless cross-promotion. 👏🏻 Here's a fantastic example from Stroke Association. 🏆 Award for best quote tweet of the year, surely?

🚨 Great Kathryn Mannix piece on #DyingMatters. 🕯️90 mins before my grandmother died the doctor said she needed a CT scan. 🛏️ So off she went unconscious for a scan that didn't happen. 😲 That might sound grim. 😊 But Nanna loved travelling so probably wouldn't have minded.

❤️💔❤️ Still.

✍️🏻 No sooner is Parliament back than the RCSLT 💙 briefings begin. 🔽 This one on what Department for Education & Department of Health and Social Care need to do to break down the barriers to opportunity faced by children and young people with #SEND and their families. #SENDInTheSpecialists #SLPeeps

💡 This reminds me that whenever I purchase 🥂 from the supermarket, I advise the cashier that I have ID with me. 😮 They never ask to see it, telling me it's fine.

👋🏻 Sophie Whitehead Palliative Care CEN for SLTs. 🗣️ Have you seen these questions on palliative and end of life care led by BishopSarah in the House of Lords yesterday? 📢RCSLTpolicy - something for this week's RCSLT 💙 Monitoring Bulletin. #PalliativeCare #EndOfLifeCare hansard.parliament.uk/lords/2024-09-…

📢 Looking for a summary of Richard Burgon MP's #SEND debate? 🧵 Then check out this great thread from Steve Hermon. 🗣 RCSLTpolicy, something for RCSLT 💙 to use.

The number of MPs at yesterday's SEND debate is genuinely remarkable. Westminster Hall debates normally have only a handful there. We've been trying for years to get disabled children up the political priority list. It's there now - now we must make sure the right change happens.

❤️ I went to see my Father last week. 🗣 I wanted to update him on the political situation. 🤔 It was interesting. 😶 He responded in exactly the same way as he did when I gave him political updates while he was alive.

❤️

❤️ A fantastic - and hugely important - reminder on Belfast Live that palliative care isn't really about dying, it's about living. 👏🏻 Brilliant stuff Sophie Whitehead, thank you! #PallCareWeek #PalliativeCare
