We found a high prevalence of self reported voice (34%), communication (23%) and swallowing (20%) compromise post covid. Recognition of these needs by NICE and funded SLT provision in long covid clinics is a priority. @RCSLT @RCSLTResearch @camillacdawson
A new UK-wide study reveals a high prevalence of communication and swallowing needs in people with long COVID. The study, which was conducted on behalf of the RCSLT, is the largest prospective, observational study of adults hospitalised by COVID-19. rcslt.org/news/new-study-fin…

Increased #HCPC fee (by 20%...) ✅ Increased #RCSLT fee (albeit minimal...) ✅ Hospital parking (thankfully less than some trusts...) ✅ 💰Before I've stepped foot on the wards it will cost £53 per month for the privilege of working as an SLT... #CostOfLiving 😔 – at Garston, England
