In Wales, people born before 2 September 1933 were never offered the shingles vaccine. Those born a week later were. Almost none of the first group got it. Nearly half of the second did. Seven years on: a fifth fewer dementia diagnoses. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/401...

June is designated #PrideMonth in countries around the world, marking the anniversary of the Stonewall riots in June 1969. Pride celebrates the progress we have made over the last 57 years but it also reminds us that the struggle is not over. Far from it.

Me on a Reclaim Pride march in 2022. I’m carrying a placard that reads:
Stonewall was a riot.
Pride is a protest.

Delighted to see this call to action in the BGS magazine. As Speech and Language Therapists we assessing people's mouths every day and constantly advocate for better mouth care at home, in care and in hospital. Great to see this vital and often neglected part of health care getting more coverage

Today of all days I did a random weekend shift at the big hospital. Due to severe snow I was picked up by a fantastic volunteer 4x4 service and got home via an expert Bus driver and a train that changed its mind and unusually stopped at my town as all the other trains were cancelled.

the entire debate cis people have about trans people is moronic to start but it’s also a debate most trans people don’t care about, being that if we are viewed as “real women or men” or not. no one gives a fuck. it changes nothing about the reality that transitioning rocks

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. Amid anti-trans politics, today is a day of reflection. A day to mourn those we have all lost. Each name is a reminder to love and fight for each other, and especially for those most marginalised. With solidarity, we will build a better world for us all.

I see a lot of this in people referred due to swallowing difficulties where no one has explained to the family or the person that this is part of increasing frailty and a trajectory that is predictable.

Very lucky to have been given the opportunity to see this last night. I didn't know what it was about and only vaguely knew who Rhod was. But the show is side splittingly funny, desperately sad, thought provoking and positive. I spent the way home explaining H+N cancers to my non SLT friends though

It's curious to me how much we let 'hard' data talk loudest. Quantitative stuff plays a part. But when we're considering person-centred services & relational interactions, then it's all our human experiences & connections that tell the real story. That's not fanciful, it's life.
