A lot of people I have spoken to over the past 6 months refer to this guilt of 'non clinical' (be it CPD/research/admin) but advice I hear is that activities such as research and I would argue CPD, benefits more than just that one person you would see in a session #ResNetSLT

Elicia Jones

@EllieJSLT

@ReSNetSLT I think it’s so so hard to prioritise CPD time, I am very fortunate that where I work ensure we have set non clinical time to carry out our CPD. Even so when we are very busy and have busy caseloads it can be so difficult and can make you feel guilty at times. #resnetslt

@ReSNetSLT I would like to know how to facilitate access/engagement for adults with ABI deemed homeless. I know little about this but when community d/c happens, access/engagement with SLT services seems v difficult w/ understandable competing priorities (food/shelter/finance) #resnetslt

We know a barrier to research is ‘time’, @KathBroomfield gives advice around how to ‘make time’, and the answer isn’t magic 🪄 A good plan &strategy can help to approach the right sources (managerial/financially) which can buy you time for research 🙌🏻 Let’s be solution focused 💫

@SChalmersSLT @ReSNetSLT @AnnMooreEmProf @ClinAcSLT Nothing formal in terms a specific role - but alongside my NHS work, I’ve just completed (🥳🥂) an action research project with a group of schools looking at the impact of SCERTS training. It was funded by the Laurel Trust, so gave me an extra morning a week just for the project.
