4 weeks today MPs vote whether to progress with legalising medically assisted suicide in England & Wales.
I made this documentary with @BBC @OpenUniversity @_BurningBright_ to explain why me & many other disabled people are opposed.

Thanks for sharing, watching & commenting on my @BBC documentary Better Off Dead? explaining why me & many other disabled people oppose assisted suicide from a disability rights & not a religious perspective

How are you keeping track of your dysphagia competencies? I'm starting shadowing and I want to keep a clear log of what I have done. Any handy spreadsheet, ways of noting what I have done quickly while on the wards? #dysphagia #NQP #SALT

A sneak peak of our new monthly #CPD newsletter collated by @Sophie_R54 and distributed to our #SLT team to highlight learning opportunities advertised on social media & SLT stories from the news. Interested to hear how other teams identify CPD opportunities! @UHSHCSAHP @UHSFT

Really enjoyed delivering part of this on Thursday. π£οΈ It was also interesting hearing from one of my colleagues who attended @AcquireSLTβs training on global aphasia last year, which I think will be particularly useful for my upcoming stroke rotation π§

Our brilliant Band 5βs & SLTA delivered our January #CPD session yesterday all about #communication. We explored assessments, strategies for working with cog-comm patients & innovative therapy approaches for global aphasia, plus heard about our fab stroke communication groups π£οΈ

π£ Advocating for patients: Itβs easy to feel undervalued as an #SLT when bed pressures and waiting lists are ever-looming. Being able to advocate for patients & empowering them to advocate for themselves is probably the most rewarding part of my job, which I hadn't anticipated.

I still have so much to learn and with only a couple of months left before rotating to stroke, I'm keen to squeeze as much as I can out of the rest of my acute rotation. If you have any insights, advice, or stories to share from your own experiences, I'd love to hear them!
