Buddy Chat was co-designed from the start! We sought feedback & importantly asked those living with SLCN for their thoughts! Pete Bradley, Fireman & founder of @BelfastSupport is certain that Buddy Chat will make a difference in schools! 🥳 @RCSLT

We love to get patients involved in group activities here on the female stroke rehab ward. This week we ran a sensory group joint with OT and Physio! Our patients were singing, smelling, seeing, hearing, touching and tasting! We even made BioZoon “mulled wine” & hot chocolate🎅🏻🎄

We also refreshed our knowledge of cough reflex testing & how it helps assess the integrity of airway protection during swallowing. Identifying different cough types can guide tailored interventions, reduce aspiration risk & enhance patient care #mySLTday @standrewsSLT #SLTsinMH

Most mental health services & therapies are verbally mediated -with the high prevalence of language & communication needs in this population, it's vital that SLTs are embedded in mental health teams to support access to required interventions #WorldMentalHealthDay2022 #SLTsinMH
