Sensory feedback plays an important role in our eating & drinking. Recognising flavours & tastes, aroma & texture provide swallowing clues. Strong flavours & alternating temperatures can also be useful. #WithSLTuCan

Reading this, I couldn't help but think about people living with dementia who also seem to be labelled every time they have a perfectly normal & rational grumpy day. Sometimes we become obsessed with perfection & can't see the difference between unmet needs and our differences

'Talking about dying won’t make it more likely. Death rates remain a stubborn 100% despite medical advances, a rate that looks unlikely to change'. Fab piece by Kathryn Mannix on new study of (over) investigation of pts who die <6mths later #Last1000Days theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

In hospitals, approximately 20- 30% of older people on medical wards will develop delirium, and up to 50% of people with dementia. Up to 50% of people who have surgery develop delirium. Most people living in care homes are also at greater risk. See thread…

Lots of interesting and challenging thoughts re: how Speech and Language Therapists are perceived by others and how to change the fact that we are often undervalued #RCSLTConnectScotland

We need to think how we use and amplify our professional voice. Being involved on research and developing evidence and then shouting about it #RCSLTConnectScotland

ClaireClarkSLT 💙 (@claireclarkslt) 's Twitter Profile Photo

Need to look at the diversity of SLTs: knowledge about the profession, accessibility to the professions training so many factors involved which I feel have been raised often over the years #RCSLTConnectScotland

How do we use the voice that we have? Do we need to be better influencers? need to show how we have impact and how that provides solutions to the systemic issues facing both the groups we with work with and the NHS #RCSLTConnectScotland
