The PD COMM #trial closed to recruitment due to the impact of COVID restrictions and we are now completing 12 month follow ups. Analysis of results this summer and a virtual meeting later this year. Look out for trial publications later this year and into 2022 #PDCOMM #SLT

So wonderful to hear the benefits #slt #slpeeps gain from participation in @PDCOMM_trial, large, multi centred #trial! Research benefits from real-world therapist expertise, clinically relevant participants making finding more relevant to real patients.
It had its challenges certainly especially to balance our time in research vs our day to day ward based role! But the experience gained and skills will set us in amazing stead for the future! Helps hugely to have a supportive manager too 😃

Wonderful to hear the benefit that #slpeeps #SLTchat #slts gain in this way from from participating in #research #RCTs @PDCOMM_trial funded by @NIHRresearch @NIHRtakepart @NIHRcommunity which will benefit people with #dysarthria and PD @ParkinsonsUK
Great to hear that #PDCOMM is having this effect: "we would strongly recommend the experience to any SLT thinking of being involved in any research trial." Thanks for all your efforts @SltLucy and @hannah_treloar!

My lovely fellow SLTs @SltLucy and @hannah_treloar @WaltonCentre write about their experiences participating in the multi-centre @PDCOMM_trial! A great example how SLTs can be research-active alongside clinical practice, including the benefits and challenges along the way 💫

Well done. Isn’t it great to be part of a research network @PDCOMM_trial Thanks for all your work in ensuring the trial is successful. We will have good evidence for slt with people with Parkinson’s @ClinAcSLT
Thanks to @PDCOMM_trial for our prize! We recruited the fourth patient in November to our Parkinson's study 😀 We will enjoy the countdown to Christmas #bepartofresearch

Good advice @ClinAcSLT don’t hold back. Academics, certainly clinical academics always happy to talk about ideas and help with applications for PhD and funding (two separate processes). Get in touch. @LNWH_SLT @PDCOMM_trial @SLPeeps
Last week at #RDSRCSLT19 we heard lots about making contacts & networks. So here's a timely and handy blog on contacting potential #PhD supervisors from @FindAPhD findaphd.com/advice/blog/540…
