Yes I agree with this! Also important to be civil and kind even when under pressure

Alyssa Burgart, MD, MA (BurgartBioethix) @alyssaburgart.com · 3d

What I thought would solve moral injury:
-Working harder
-Caring less
-Quitting my job

What actually leads to healing:
-Connecting with others who share my values
-Making tiny choices that align with who I am
-Seeking moments of ethical clarity amid the chaos

We can't fix broken systems alone.

Finished this book for book club. Not the usual sort of book I would read but I really enjoyed it. Imaginative and written in a witty engaging style..I see this author has written lots more books. Any suggestions #Booksky as which ones to read next?

🚨 Fantastic to see this quote from DfE minister @georgiagould.bsky.social on speech and language therapists breaking down communication barriers in response to a written question from David Williams MP on the RCSLT report 'A Profession Under Pressure' by @gillianrudd.bsky.social.

1/

“Speech and language therapists break down communication barriers, unlocking learning, inclusion, and opportunity for every child. They play a critical role in early intervention for children and young people.”
Georgia Gould, education minister, September 2025

Excellent to see another Trust with SLTs part of the Front Door Service. Great summary of a what sounds like a very successful implementation of the service 👇

Bec (she/her) @0ddishing.bsky.social · Sep 6

Reflecting on my NQP year setting up a Front Doors SLT service. Never underestimate the importance of visibility and taking the time to do things properly. Couldn't have done it without great supervision and the fantastic Front Doors CEN #bskySpeechies #SLT #SLPeeps

Presentation slide with a blue clipart of people holding hands in a circle. Text reads: What worked well. Heading: Observation. What is already happening? What can we do better? Heading: Networking. Visibility. Team huddles. Crashing doctors’ workspaces. AHP / housekeeping colleagues. Shadowing other Trusts / CENs. Heading: Data collection. Auditing patient journeys. Quantitative and qualitative measures. Literature review. Clear but flexible measures.

Presentation slide with a blue clipart image of a head with a lightbulb inside. Text reads: Reflections and learning. Heading: Training. Difficult to establish. Took longer than expected. Heading: MDT immersion. Takes time to find key players and advocates. Need to be visible – not always possible in ED. Heading: Pre-project considerations. Need for pre-project data collection to prove change. Heading: Going it alone. Difficult to motivate as one person. Can’t split tasks / bounce ideas. No leave cover risks MDT returning to old habits.
