What are some influential papers that have shaped your practice? Post one paper that was formative in your early career; one that changed the way you worked; and your favourite recent paper. I'll start 🧵 #SLPeeps #WeSpeechies #BlueSkySpeechies

A recent student has been helping me with reviewing the quality of our clinical notes. We found this article about choice of words in EPR documentation and impact on quality of patient care. It really resonated with her, so thought I would share!

I'm looking for best practice from Acute Speech Therapists and Dietitians 👀

How does your organisation communicate patient nutrition status at the bedside? Paper sheets? Whiteboard? Magnets? Digital?

What is the best system for our nursing, medical, catering colleagues, our patients & families?

We held a Speech Therapy Department Share & Learn day today - what an absolute joy to be surrounded by such talented, ambitious & thoughtful colleagues. Super important moment in coming together & celebrating each other's achievements 💙 Do you have department days too?

Yes to all the above!! I get nervous posting my own random musings though 🫠

I love how international it is too. Most of the people I followed in the other place were UK based. So good to see a bit more of a global community!!

A colleague & I just facilitated a round table discussion on Eating & Drinking with Acknowledged Risks at the Thames Valley Geriatric Medicine Registrars' monthly teaching day. Absolutely buzzing - what a great group of people. Openness to debate, shared problem solving, and a true MDT spirit 💙

Quick note: It’s not radical to want our public services to work properly, or for children to have enough to eat and a warm home.

Years ago I did a University placement with kids with hearing impairment, using ultrasound to help visualise placement for artic therapy because they couldn't always 'hear' the target - wouldn't it be interesting to combine the two? 🤔

Ooh, nice choice - this is a great one

We antipodeans will never get bored of snow - literally ran out the door this morning to walk to work!

Sounds like it's a cornerstone to everything you do - thank you for sharing 💙

I've given this a read now - fascinating paper. I found my interactions with my nursing colleagues was different in Aus compared to how it is here in the UK - I wonder why? I would love to see more ethnographic papers about SLT practice!
