Had an amazing day yesterday running the London Marathon! 10 years on from running it for the first time and 18 minutes quicker despite a knee injury preventing me from running for the last few weeks. And the best bit? Raising over £2200 for LymphomaAction 💜💚

Running the London Marathon tomorrow for Lymphoma Action. Link in my bio if you would like to donate 💜

1 week today! 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️

Calling all UK speech and language therapy students: What do you like to see in a pre-placement pack? What helps you to know what to expect from placement? What makes you feel welcome? Would love to hear your thoughts. #slt2b RCSLT 💙

Booked my tickets for my graduation in May! Excited to celebrate our achievements and see what everyone has been getting up to since September in their new SLT careers 🎓🗣️

How much does the public know about the Speech and Language Thearpy services provided for people with Dementia?

Looking for residents of the UK to fill out a 10-15 min survey for my Master's thesis on SLT and Dementia care.

Reflecting back on 2023, it’s been a pretty good year:
🌟 distinction in my MSc
🌟 winner of the Clare Tarplee Project Prize
🌟 starting my first SLT job in acute stroke, gaining some amazing colleagues and working in an area I love.
Here’s to 2024!

5 months to go! 🏃‍♀️ 🏃 🏃‍♂️

Despite being absolutely exhausted, I’ve had a great first week as a Band 5 SLT! Wondering when/if the novelty of introducing myself to pts with ‘Hi I’m Farran, I’m a Speech and Language Therapist’ is going to wear off?

Woohoo! Now to begin my B5 position! #mysltday #HCPCregistered

Really pleased to have finally submitted my HCPC application after finding out I have passed my MSc with distinction! 🎉 #mysltday
