Goodhart's Law: “When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.” A famous historical example is the "cobra effect": in India during British rule, the government, concerned about the number of venomous cobras, offered a bounty for every dead cobra. Initially, this was successful. Then people started breeding cobras for the income. The reward programme was scrapped so the breeders set their snakes free & increased the cobra numbers.
Two strategies to "cobra-proof" our goals & metrics:
1) Define metrics clearly in ways that reduce the potential for them to be misinterpreted or gamed
2) Use a diverse set of metrics collectively to measure the “true goal”

I am in awe of this lady! Be it training care home staff, supporting pple with EDS difficulties, presenting, or lobbying ministers, Catherine gives 💯 & does an AMAZING job! She is the reason our B4 SLT/DT AP role has been such a success & deserves ALL the praise 🎉🎉
Inspiring day at the AHP and Healthcare Science conference with @woodmore58006. Yesterday Catherine was raising awareness of eating, drinking and swallowing difficulties at the Senedd #SwallowAware2024 and today she was runner up in the working across boundaries award #cavconf

Eating, drinking and swallowing is an essential part of most people’s day and is often taken for granted, but for some people it is not that easy. Thank you to @JoelJamesSWC for attending the drop-in with @RCSLTWales to raise awareness of these difficulties.

Thanks so much @janedodds for helping to raise awareness on #SwallowAware2024 & visiting speech and language therapists at Brecon Hospital @PTHBhealth earlier this month to learn more about their role.

It was a pleasure to attend @RCSLT drop-in event today in the Senedd to mark Swallow Awareness day.
The work done by Speech and Language therapists to help people suffering from Dysphagia is truly remarkable 👇

ALT A collage of photographs showing Sioned Williams MS at an event hosted by the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists. Demonstrations shown in the photographs show Sioned tasting food that has been prepared especially for people with swallowing or chewing difficulties, and also flavoured air, which appears as foam which can be scooped into the mouth with a spoon, and that leaves a flavour, but which doesn’t need swallowing.

Flavoured air was not something I was expecting to sample today, but when I met with @RCSLTWales I discovered it’s one of the many imaginative ways to help people with dysphagia – difficulties eating, drinking and swallowing. #SwallowAware2024 #SwallowCymru2024

Thanks @BBCRadioWales for highlighting Swallowing Awareness Day by speaking to one of our members, and a mum who talks about how speech and language therapy supported her child to swallow.
