Delighted to share the first paper from my PhD on #Aphasia Awareness. What does it mean to be aphasia aware? An international survey of stakeholder perspectives and experiences of aphasia awareness tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Great recognition from Avril Drummond💙 that PPI with people with aphasia is a whole skill set and a lot of hard work. Something we have been championing for years #Gmnisdnconf24 Speakeasy-aphasia

What a coincidence. Met by chance on the street when I was visiting London for the day. #aphasia ⁦Suzanne Beeke⁩

We r passionate abt raising the profile of #SLT in supporting people with #PPA - whether that’s delivering services through Dyscover Rosemary Townsend or research Better Conversations Brain Behaviour Group we also aim to upskill #SLT s who attend the UK SLT PPA network meetings!

Good to see this correction and formal recognition for the work of Speakeasy-aphasia through this award. Gill Pearl

A new year and we’re already thinking about #UKSF24 and how we can continue to work with our amazing colleagues across the stroke pathway and make this conference work for YOU!
But before we do, we’d like to correct a mistake that took place in the closing awards at #UKSF23

It was good to catch up with my AIA Aphasia Intl. friends to review activities from 2023 & discuss plans for 2024. We are delighted to add strength to the voice of people with #Aphasia on the new AIA Board too!

The best advocates for better #aphasia services are people with aphasia themselves with the support of family, friends and professionals. Pls tell all your aphasia community about this conference in Coventry, UK 14&15 April, 2024. Register here:

Enjoyed this #uksf23 session and will be using Stroke Association communication pack resources to support #research #inclusion in Wellbeing After Stroke (WAterS) study. Also recommend checking out resources from Speakeasy charity: speakeasy-aphasia.org.uk/aphasia/resear…

Speakeasy is delighted to win the #UKSF23 Tavistock Trust for Aphasia poster award for our project delivering virtual therapy and support - even though this was wrongly announced at the conference as being a University project 😩

Today not one but two members of the team were awarded a fellowship of the RCSLT 💙 for their research and its impact within #SLT - Rebecca Rebecca Palmer and Suzanne Better Conversations Lab Congratulations! 🎉🎉🎉 #RCSLTAwards

Susan Guthrie RCSLTResearch School of Healthcare LYPFT R&D Prof BronwynHemsley Sally Morgan @[email protected] I was recently at a conference with Gill Pearl whose poster had both “aphasia-friendly” and “unfriendly” content. Gill observed that most people without #aphasia read the friendly content first! Avoid lots of text - will detract from your commentary if you give one. Good luck!

The aphasia world owes so much to this wonderful lady. She will be missed.

Loving the #NAC23 conference dinner with the legend that is Gill Pearl #aphasia #slt

Today I presented at #NAC23 about intensive comprehensive #aphasia programmes with my 4 month old Úna asleep in the sling. What a beautiful moment for me. Huge thanks to my wonderful supervisors, colleagues and conference attendees for their support to do this. Academic Mom, PhD
