Great physio session today @WSHPhysio Positive rehab for working towards resuming normal duties @WSH_SALT and maybe just maybe dancing by Christmas! Thank you #AHPsuffolk
Just had surgery in the hospital I work in. @WestSuffolkNHS the care I received was amazing from all the staff in ward F10, OTs, the kind and jolly porters who help to calm your nerves, the theatre staff,
admissions team and pharmacy. Thank you x
@WSH_SALT team meeting, FEEs practice thanks to Michelle @AmbuEurope and focus on AAC thanks to Della @SCARC all finished off with focus on CPD and Supervision in a sweaty room. #dreamteam
Great collaboration @WSH_SALT and @EastSuffolkSALT on first Suffolk Regional Rare Dementia PPA support group. Great turnout and well received. Good to see continuity of pts from diagnosis @CambridgeFTD. Thank you @RareDementia for the opportunity.
Final F2F Cog Stim & Comms Grp. Increased conversation and participants interacting. Highlighted lack of support for early onset/younger dementia pts. Inspired work to be done @WSH_SALT @maggiewoodhouse @GyldaNunn @NHSWSCCG @alzheimerssoc. Great gift from pts
1st day of 2nd F2F Comms group based on CST. 6 pts referred from memory services to SALT for 1 to 1 and then group. Great continuity of services & collaboration with @WSH_SALT & @WSH dementia services with @maggiewoodhouse. #dementia #aphasia #personcentredcare #integration

Calling all #SLT #SLPs : Do you use the citric acid test in practice to support #dysphagia diagnosis? If so, do you find it effective and useful? If no, is this because of contraindications/limited evidence or other reasons? Thank you!
