Great research that supports evidence for the ā€˜nocebo effect’ related to our choice of language in the ICU. Great to see all the MDT involved with this study and even reflected an SLT specific example of the importance of semantics. journals.sagepub.com/doi/ful…

What is really alarming and upsetting is to read a statement that centres the feelings of a white individual in a position of power, as opposed to acknowledging the valid anxieties and worries of many POC members, regardless of whether the following of a fascist was accidental

Quite shocked about seeing the CEO of @RCSLT following the leading figure of right-wing ideology in the UK! #TommyRobinson #RacistRiots #Islamophobia

Not just for SLTs but for all involved in working with people with dysphagia - GOs/Care Homes 'Service users should not be prescribed thickener for fluid without a detailed drinking and swallowing assessment by a dysphagia trained practitioner'. Seems obvious but it happens.

9) This job is so meaningful that it’s easy to think about it a lot when not at work. Figure out what helps you switch off from work and do it as soon as you leave (e.g. for me it’s gym, but it could be going for a walk, watching tv, calling someone, whatever works)

10) It’s not selfish to look after yourself first- doing so can help you to support patients better

Remember to look after yourself in the small ways - it’s easy to forget & neglect them Make a conscious effort to put yourself first, be kind, gentle & nurture your strength šŸƒ etsy.com/uk/listing/13880253…
