Fantastic session from @aphasiatherapycen.bsky.social today. Great to hear from experience about how to make therapy meaningful and work for people with both aphasia and CCD. A lot to take back to clinical practice!

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.

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

Powerpoint Presentation slide. Text reads: Supporting marginalised SLTs in the workplace. RCSLT Guidance for Neurodivergent colleagues, and LGBTQIA+ colleagues. White background with light green circle graphics.
Delivered my first internal CPD session this week on #RCSLT guidance for supporting Neurodivergent and LGTBQIA+ SLTs. Nerve-wracking but sparked really good conversations and considerations for supporting each other at work. #bskyspeechies #SLT #SLPeeps
