Clinical academic networks

Thank you to Katherine Broomfield ( @KathBroomfield ) for producing the latest ResNetSLT blog post. As a speech and language therapist I accessed networks that were directly related to my clinical area. I joined special interest groups/clinical excellence networks and attended meetings to access shared learning and information which informed my clinical practice. With regards to broader networks, I couldn't really understand how people outside my organisation or specialism would be able to help me within my role as a speech and language therapist. When I started my PhD in April 2017, and living 200 miles away from my University, I realised I would need support that I couldn’t access in my local, rural environment. I started scouting about for sources of support on the internet and I found other clinical academics were discussing their research, clinical interests and wider concerns via social media. I wanted to join in, but I wasn't really sure how to start. I lurked, liked, c

Tweetchat: The future for EBP – crisis or renaissance?

The inaugural #ResNetSLT Twitter Journal Club took place on Wednesday, 27th January, 2016. It proved to be a great chat and an experience for many new to Tweetchatting with 47 participants, and possibly even a few more just observing.

The conversation covered many themes: challenges and barriers to EBP and research, shared decision making in clinical practice and implication for training and education.

Tweetchat: 'That doesn't translate’ - the role of evidence-based practice in disempowering speech pathologists in acute aphasia management

Our seventh Tweetchat 'That doesn't translate’: the role of evidence-based practice in disempowering speech pathologists in acute aphasia management’ took place on Wednesday 27th July. We were delighted by the reach of the chat, hosted by Dr Hazel Roddam , with 37 participants sending 251 tweets that were delivered to 126,391 linked accounts. Thank you to everyone who contributed and followed the chat. Participants included SLTs from across the UK and in Australia as well as other AHPs. We know that people from other EU countries were also watching the conversation. We were particularly delighted that a number of people joined the Tweetchat for the first time – hope you enjoyed it! The paper reports an exploratory study of speech and language therapists working in Australia with patients who have acute aphasia and it uncovered some startling insights into the direct impact of professionals' values and attitudes on their clinical practice. The SLTs in this study reported fee
