“I know that if I didn’t have my speech and language therapy, I might be physically fit, but I wouldn’t be able to sit here and have a conversation. I can do that now, and that has changed my life.” Brain injury survivor Lawrence tells Neuro Rehab Times nrtimes.co.uk/how-i-got-my-c…

For many NHS staff, the recent racist violence in this country will leave them feeling afraid and unwelcome. To those colleagues, our message is simple: you are welcome and you are valuable members of our community. Reach out for support if you need it. england.nhs.uk/supporting-our…

It's been exactly 1 week, but due to the racist thugs these girls have almost been forgotten. Don't let them be.

Always here when you need us

claiming immigrants are stealing your jobs but having time to riot at 2pm on a Monday is crazy btw

I ask all my peers, colleagues and the RCSLT 💙 to reflect on what it must feel like to not be white at this moment in time. For me, it feels terrifying. Skin colour can't be hidden and for the racists destroying our country, skin colour is enough to hate and to hurt. 2/5

To my white peers and followers, check in on your friends and colleagues. Show solidarity and love with your communities. Call out institutions who remain silent. Demand more. Demand better. Be the ally that you pledged to be 4 years ago. 4/5

Today there are RCSLT members going about their work faced with unacceptable risks and challenges, and we stand in solidarity. Please read our response to the riots across the UK. rcslt.org/news/rcslt-res…

Why racism, Islamophobia, and xenophobia are SLT issues‼️
