Ooh - my new paper on case study is out! What’s a case study, how do you do one, how do you spot a good one? Includes niche examples like the REF impact case study (though it’s mainly about research case studies).

BMJ Medicine @bmjmedicine.bsky.social · 15d

“The report’s main point is surprisingly simple: people living with #dementia can still set goals, learn strategies, and adapt their lives with the right support … #rehabilitation is about focusing on what a person can still do and helping them do it for as long as possible.”

Dementia Who! @dementiawho.bsky.social · 19d

Today World Alzheimer’s Day 2025 is about #askboutdementia, so I wanted to share my thoughts on the new World Alzheimer Report 2025 about Rehabilitation.
Why it matters for caregivers & the questions we should be asking.

#dementia #caregivers

World Alzheimer’s Day 2025: Why Dementia Rehabilitation Matters for Caregivers. - DementiaWho!

On World Alzheimer’s Day 2025, I reflect on the World Alzheimer Report and why dementia rehabilitation matters for caregivers and loved ones.

What a grand day at the #RCSLT Scotland day. Delighted to be a part of this inspiring profession. @sarahheatley.bsky.social & I shared the work we've been doing with collaborators in Dundee to create a communication accessible city.
Hooray for the excellent NHS Tayside adult acquired SLT service.

Abi and Sarah stand in front of a screen, smiling at the camera. The screen shows a slide with the words "Influence: is it possible?"

So honored to contribute to this important work and push forward #discourse research for underrepresented aphasia populations!

Congratulations to all my co-authors and the incredible ASAL team!

Aphasia in South Asian languages (ASAL) project: a protocol of connected speech tasks for investigating cross-linguistic grammatical profiles in aphasia for South Asian languages

Languages vary in their syntactic (e.g. word order in sentences), lexical (e.g. presence of specific word classes), and morphological (e.g. inflectional or derivational forms of words) properties. ...

💭 Planning an economic evaluation for a #stroke or #aphasia study?

📊 We compared the EQ-5D-3L & SAQOL-39g

⚠️ We found use of the EQ-5D-3L in economic evaluations including people with aphasia requires caution.
