Wow! Another comprehensive resource available through the Australian Aphasia Association. Every Australian speech pathologist who could potentially come across someone with PPA needs to have this free resource available. Well done Cathy, Jade, Deborah and Natalie and the AAA.

Delighted to see our Health Innovation Hub Ireland report on Telea in CHO8 Midlands Louth Meath published today. Huge thanks to all of the people w PD who added so much co-design. Delighted to receive funding to scale up the pilot across @CHO8 SLT departments & to people w other conditions beyond PD

Lovely surprise to see our book on #SFBT #SFinSLT reviewed in RCSLT 💙 Bulletin. I learnt so much writing this with Kidge Burns - we hoped it would be a practical and useful guide so delighted to see this 5 star review! Thank you!

Nice to see national coverage of our CHO8 Midlands Louth Meath pilot w Telea + Health Innovation Hub Ireland. The report was published today #WorldParkinsonsDay We are scaling up use of Telea beyond the PD population in ECC + OPS thanks to funding by HSE Ireland due to the proven outcomes of this pilot

Access to healthcare needs is not just “putting on extra clinics”

As the waiting times increase, it’s becoming even harder to access healthcare - lack of flexibility, lack of staff, rushed communication, shortened appointments, no time for holistic care or understanding people

We need to stop saying “hard to reach” patients

Many patients are disadvantaged by OUR approach, design & biases in healthcare

This is why it’s so important to have a diverse workforce and co-design with patients

Maybe the problem is us in healthcare- not them

next Wed 17th in Maynooth Academics for Palestine Maynooth Academics for Palestine as part of the national day of action on campuses across Ireland:

What a great keynote topic. Love the emphasis on ‘delivering’, ‘priorities’ and ‘together’. In my opinion, programs of research are only meaningful when they make a meaningful difference to the lives of people affected by aphasia. Very keen to hear this keynote. Anyone else too?

There's nothing more educational than hearing the lived experience of people with #Aphasia 💜⁉️

Sharing stories with #SLT Students from across the island of Ireland - with my friends Lisa, Paul, Liam from Aphasia Home Café Cork.

Let's get the message out!

“What the people of Gaza need is an immediate and sustained ceasefire. It took too long for the UN Security Council to pass a resolution for ceasefire, now they must ensure that this was not an act of meaningless political theatre.” - Christopher Lockyear

#TalkAboutGazaMSF

It's NATO's 75th birthday. 75 glorious years of US-led terrorism and banditry to trouble the world. 75 golden years of robbing the poor to fund mass violence against the people of the Global South. A vicious relic of the Cold War that will not die. We live in hope.

The entire Gaza arts & higher education sector has been obliterated, artists and arts workers targeted and killed.

BREAKING: Israel has now killed 15,370 Palestinian children in Gaza, in just 180 days.

That’s 85 children killed per day, every single day, for 6 months straight.

Read that again.

I mean, the moment came the minute apartheid Israel started this round of extreme violence against the Palestinians in Gaza. Experts said it was genocide in week one. All people of conscience did. #GazaGenocide

This is a great video signposted by RCSI Lecturer, Cathy Doyle. It’s good to reflect on the role of professional empathy in quality healthcare provision.

“If you could stand in someone else’s shoes, would you treat them differently?”

We live in a world where the death of 10,000 Palestinian children does not prompt a vote on an arms embargo but the death of Westerners does. The aid workers helped until the end, their deaths may save lives. We should ask why this is what it took. #GazaGenocide

This will be great.
