What an amazing day we had at the SLT meeting! There were lots of great discussions, research shared and exciting plans made which will be coming soon so watch out! Above all it was great to all be in one room together, focused on improving cafe for people with #Parkinsons 👏💙

Setting sail on a very exciting 12-month journey towards improving the outcomes and experiences for people with Parkinson's in our Emergency Department at Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust. Supported by Parkinson's Excellence Network, I will be working hard to develop and pilot a brand new swallow screening tool.

Hello new followers! Time to start making use of this great network... I am currently looking into existing swallow screens, and I wondered whether any of you out there use a swallow screen in your acute settings? Particularly interested in screens pre-SLT referral. Any ideas?

Calling all #SLTs #SLTpeeps📣 Due to investment in our team we have two whole time band 6 posts open for application. One post working in our voice service and the other post working in our in-patient stroke service. Perfect for band 5 development.... links in thread

We are thrilled to announce that we have worked with expert therapists across the UK to develop an online induction programme for all therapists who are new to supporting people with Parkinson’s. The programme starts on 2 October 2023. Register today! bit.ly/3hBBtiQ
