📶 No, it's not the Wi-Fi acting up again. #ItsHowWeTalk We're calling for the right to stammer, because stammering is just how some people talk, and there can be #NoDiversityWithoutDisfluency. Thread continued below... 👇

Good to hear the SLT role being highlighted as important to COVID19 care
Massive thanks to our president @Nick_Hewer & @drjackiem for highlighting the vital work that speech and language therapists do in supporting patients with #COVID19 on @GMB this morning. You can watch the full interview here from 2:07: itv.com/hub/good-morni… @KGadhok
Great summary of popular video chatting apps to keep up with people during lockdown. MS Teams has also been good for work meetings.
We've just put up this guide to the most popular video chatting apps to keep us connected while social distancing stamma.org/news-features/…
During yesterday's #Coronavirus Bill debate Lord Ramsbotham highlighted the importance of accessible information, #PPE & #SLTs being key workers. He described #SLPeeps as 'essential in this process'. A massive @RCSLT thank you, we're very grateful. bit.ly/2QHqUxG

Tips for managing information governance using #telehealth
@TammyDavidsonTh @abracabadger @citcen @AiredaleStammer NHS IG guidance for video consultations: "The consent of the patient or service user is implied by them accepting the invite and entering the consultation. But you should safeguard personal/confidential patient information in the same way you would with any other consultation."
Good to see how successful outreach services like the Airedale Project are offering #telehealth
If you need help or advice in setting up #Telemedicine #telehealth services, get in touch @WeAHPs For overview, see youtu.be/uzRD9odJjf8
Guidance about #telehealth from Royal College of SLT
If you need help or advice in setting up #Telemedicine #telehealth services, get in touch @WeAHPs For overview, see youtu.be/uzRD9odJjf8
Time to seriously start thinking about different ways of offering care #telehealth
Telehealth may become increasingly useful over the coming months. What are your tips for how to use it in practice? We'll link to various examples suggested by our membership below. Please do add any tips you have!
