You are absolutely spot on. Transformers and Saw. Odd choices given the ages of the student. Saw was described as an old (!!!) horror movie 🫣😂
Discussing how to manage aphasia to second-year students today. Students took part in a PACE activity as client/SLT to demonstrate the difficulty in communicating something as simple as their favourite movie. Can you guess the movies from these pictures?
One for next year's teaching but happy to receive an inspection copy of Gilbertson and Henson's new book. Nice to see a resource which reflects the diversity of clinical caseloads (i.e. cognitive-communication disorder, prolonged disorder of consciousness, challenging behaviour)
A new week and Caroline Bowen and Pamela Snow's new book has just arrived on my door step. One for those who have, or work with, children with additional needs. Hope it is as good as the previous Making Sense which I thoroughly enjoyed!
Just received this today and looking forward to reading my former colleague Claire Hartley's chapter on communication following a stroke in collaboration with the South Birmingham (BCU) Conversation and Family Group. Congratulations! Whole book looks excellent & very practical book for AHPs & nurses
Thanks Karen. Lot of hard work over the last couple of years so nice to have something tangible to show for it.
Assessing first-year physiotherapy and speech and language therapy students presentations this morning/lunchtime then a SLT staff meeting in the afternoon. Received my teaching qualification in the post too! #mySLTday #bskySPEECHIES
Agree. Would be interested in your thoughts about financial payments and whether they should be subject to minimum wage laws too.
Will consider it for next year. One of the topics that won an award this year is actually something I am planning to do in the next month or so. Are you able to say who is running the podcast and video interviews project? Would be nice to have a chat. Or pass on my details at least.
Any information on the best way to get a physical inspection copy in the UK?
Indeed. I would have thought this sort of thing would easily win a @basaphasia.bsky.social grant. One of my first year students is a Welsh speaker. Maybe I can convince her to do this when she gets to her final year 😄
Do you have Catrin's contact details? I would like to have a look at the presentation if possible.
This was a constant bugbear of mine working across the border in Staffordshire as I regularly had Welsh patients in our major trauma centre.

Nice to see some pay off for the hard work over the last couple of years. Finally received confirmation and final grade for teaching qualification. A distinction! #mySLTday #bskySPEECHIES
Fantastic #AHPsDay. Recorded videos with a colleague for upcoming dysphagia simulations. Manned the speech and language therapy table with @bammo44.bsky.social at university, and spoke to lots of students and other staff about the profession. #mySLTday #bskySPEECHIES
Thanks Pam. I think it is important to show people/students that not everyone knows what they want to do in school and people interests/careers change over time, and that is okay!

First day of induction week. The wait is finally over! Met new students. Campus bustling. #mySLTday #bskySPEECHIES

Attended Keele University's SimFest conference yesterday.
Good chance to meet wide range of healthcare colleagues across the university and region, and see range of approaches to simulation. #mySLTday #bskySPEECHIES
Picture of three books--Understanding pathological demand avoidance syndrome in children. Intensive interaction: theoretical perspectives. Divided: racism, medicine, and why we need to decolonise healthcare
Away for the weekend and picked up some excellent books in a charity shop and another in a cheap book shop. Staff meeting today then continuing to work on my teaching qualification coursework. #mySLTday #bskySPEECHIES
Varied day meeting new SLT colleague, and physiotherapy colleagues to learn about modules I will be teaching on, admissions process, clinical placements. Peer reviewed an article. Picked up Kate Darbishire's Speechless in a charity shop. Will have to give it a read. #mySLTday #bskySPEECHIES
First day at Keele University. Very different kind of campus / environment to teach in. Looking forward to September. #mySLTday #bskySPEECHIES
Thanks Jo.
A card to celebrate getting a new job
Final teaching session with first-year master's students on (assessing) cognitive-communication disorders before I join Keele University on Friday. Lovely card from some of my apprenticeship students #mySLTday #bskySPEECHIES

Just received an inspection copy of Tessa Ackerman's Navigating Aphasia. I look forward to reading it.
