June is aphasia awareness month, and in honour of this we had two amazing guests, Daisy and Kelly on our podcast.

Steve Jamieson is the CEO of the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT) and we had the exciting opportunity to speak with Steve in our latest podcast.

In this enlightening episode we explore Steve’s career journey and current role at the RCSLT. We also discuss current issues facing speech and language therapy as a profession and what steps we and the RCSLT can take to overcome this.

Conor shares his experience as a disabled student at BCU with us.

Listen to Ellie and Claire from the saltsoc committee and Ashley and Beth talk about life as a mature SLT student at BCU. We talk about how much we love speech and language therapy, what have been the good and bad things about being a mature student, and what has helped us. 

All of the committee have recently been on placement or are mid placement, so here are a few of our experiences on placement, some of the things we learnt, and a couple ideas of what you most need in your toolkit. 

Today's placement includes some discussion around what is resilience and how do we have more of it, as well as tips to help you face placement and a new job as an NQP. The link mentioned in the podcast for a 5 minute video around ACEs is https://youtu.be/VMpIi-4CZK0.

This is my favourite episode yet! I had the honour of interviewing Jasjot about his experience as someone who has a stammer, and he shares his negative experiences and challenges, his achievements and his advice for those who stammer or know someone who does. This is a MUST listen if you work with people, some of whom will have a stammer, or if you know children or adults who stammer.

This month we chat with Darcy, Keira and Michael about their university experience, finding a job, and first year as an NQP.

Ellie F, Ellie M, Claire, Miranda and Amy introduce and speak a bit about themselves as the new committee 22/23 - we hope you enjoy!!
