Proof that I actually made it to the Second Chance Ball!

I'm really enjoying seeing all the photos from the evening popping up on social media, as I was so busy enjoying myself and chatting with so many interesting people that I completely forgot to take any pictures of my own.

Thankfully, Adrian Hawley came to the rescue and shared this one with me. I volunteer alongside Adrian at Headway Huddersfield and District, where he is our Chairman, and I think you'll agree he was absolutely rocking that carnival headdress!

If anyone has any photos with me in them from the evening, I'd love to see them, so please do send them my way. It was a fantastic fundraising event and a real pleasure to spend the evening with so many people supporting such an important cause.

Really enjoyed presenting at the RCSLT NEY Hub Day and having the opportunity to talk about something Karen and I are incredibly passionate about - the evolution of dysphagia assessment and rehabilitation.

A huge thank you to Dr Jo Sandiford and Emma Gregory Assoc CIPD for inviting me to speak and for organising such a thoughtful and engaging event.

My talk explored our journey developing independent VFSS and community FEES services, alongside rehabilitation-focused dysphagia management using approaches such as NMES, EMST, MDTP and sEMG biofeedback. We discussed the importance of instrumental assessment, innovation in service delivery, and the need to continually challenge and examine our practice as the evidence base evolves.

It was also really valuable to hear updates from the RCSLT, particularly in the context of the current political and healthcare climate, and to have the opportunity to network with so many colleagues equally passionate about improving patient outcomes.

Always lovely to see Kathryn Pierce — although unfortunately our parallel sessions were scheduled at exactly the same time, so I sadly missed her talk this year!

One of the best parts of the day was the conversations afterwards. It genuinely feels like dysphagia practice is evolving rapidly, with increasing focus on evidence-based rehabilitation, patient-centred decision making and collaborative models of care.

Exciting times for the profession.

We’re proud to support The Kirkwood through ad-hoc inpatient SLT input, clinical governance support, and training around communication and swallowing difficulties in palliative and end of life care.

Really pleased to receive some positive feedback following a recent training session delivered by Hannah.

Providing training in this area is something we value hugely - helping teams feel more confident managing complex conversations and dysphagia at end of life, while keeping care practical, patient-centred and evidence informed.

Thanks to The Kirkwood team for continuing to work collaboratively with us.

FEES on the road!

On Friday we had a fantastic trip out to STEPS Rehabilitation Centre, Sheffield, taking our FEES service on the road to assess a client in their own environment.

A huge thank you to Rehabilitation Ltd for such a warm welcome, and for the opportunity to have valuable clinical discussions with the excellent Speech and Language Therapy team, including .

FEES (Flexible Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing) is an invaluable tool for assessing swallowing. Access to high-quality instrumental assessment matters because the right information at the right time can directly shape clinical decisions, reduce risk, and help move a client forward on their rehabilitation journey with confidence.

Being able to provide FEES assessments within a client’s own environment also allows for more meaningful, functional assessment and supports truly person-centred care.
If you would like to find out more about our FEES service, please get in touch — we’d love to discuss how we can support your clients and teams.

Another rewarding day in clinic on Friday completing a Videofluoroscopic Swallow Study (VFSS) with a young person.

Using the MBSImP framework to systematically map swallowing impairments allowed us to identify the specific physiological areas of difficulty and build a targeted rehabilitation plan.

The next stage of therapy will include rehabilitation with AMPCARE NMES, focusing on improving swallow function through evidence-based intervention tailored to the individual’s needs.

VFSS continues to be such a valuable tool — not just for identifying aspiration risk, but for truly understanding the underlying impairment profile and guiding meaningful rehabilitation.

Last week was a first for us - we were guests on a podcast, discussing, brain injury and cognitive communication disorder. It was great to be asked to do this, and we can’t wait to listen to the finished result.

It was team meeting day today at Rose Speech Therapy, sharing information, planning and working on best practice, it's always a good day when most of the team get in together at the same time!

We were pleased to be joined by friend and SLT Joanna Holmes. Joanna is a parent/carer, blogger and Speech and Language Therapist, who is currently reaccrediting after some time off to raise and care for her daughter. Joanna is spending time here with us to sit in on meetings as part of her reaccreditation.
