"If a person walks away feeling worse than when they arrived, then I haven't done my job as an SLT" - there is great therapeutic value to speech and language therapy assessment highlights @deborahhersh in her keynote address on the first day of #BASCON21 @BasAphasia

After most of my time as an SLT has been overshadowed by the pandemic, the @BasAphasia conference has reminded me how completely fascinating our job is! Feeling inspired! Although my brain feels quite full 🧠🤯 #BASCON21

I've spent most of today in court watching an urgent application before Mrs Justice Judd concerning a feeding tube for a woman (P) in her 70s with Lewy Body dementia. She's in hospital following admission in November last year with biliary sepsis delirium.

@DailyMailUK could this ‘health’ journo tell us how they would meet the hypermetabolic needs of a proned vented patient with COVID & the long-term nutritional rehab that they will require? Doesn’t sound like dietitians are ‘non-essential’ 🤔 ‘Health’ journos on the other hand...

Do these dietitians look "opportunistic"? @cjsnowdon , were our members being "cynical" when they worked seven days a week to feed critically ill COVID-19 patients? @DailyMailUK retract this 'story' until you understand what dietitians do. dailymail.co.uk/news/article…
