I am undertaking a QI project on dysphagia screening in Critical Care and keen to understand the views of other SLTs/current practices.
I would be really grateful if SLTs working in critical care could complete this questionnaire by 21/5/25. Thank you!😀

As President of the ICS we’re very keen to support the development of the CICM. As an intensivist and member of FICM - it’s good to see my profession finally being recognised as a stand alone specialty in its own right.

We’re in full support of the recommendations from @RCP_RDC, @RCPSGResidents and @RCPEdinTrainees in their appeal to the statutory education bodies and @GMCUK.
We strongly feel that those who have been affected by the 2023 MRCP(UK) part 2 exam error should be allowed to progress with individual support plans and risk assessments in place.

We’ve responded to the statutory education bodies and @GMCUK urging them to reconsider the decision to withdraw candidates applying for current HST places due to the 2023 MRCP(UK) part 2 exam results error. We’re deeply disappointed at their approach: ow.ly/zPOb50V7INU
