Earlier this year I was lucky to be invited to talk about The Victoria & Stuart Project at the International Better Conversations Conference 2025💫
Lovely to see so many SLTs interested in the toolkit and asking such good questions. Thanks for a great conference and for having me!

Why I do what I do: met a former palliative care nurse & was describing how devout Muslims can hold up a single finger to represent the Shahadah if they're unable to speak. She'd never heard of this.
"I wonder how many times nurses see this, think someone is agitated, and drug them."
So proud to have been involved in The Victoria & Stuart Project! @victstuproject.bsky.social

Check out our new paper! 📰 We learned a lot about how the end-of-life care planning toolkit works in practice - and a lot about how to evaluate things in the future (talking to peole and short and straightforward surveys!). The toolkit is still available on: www.victoriaandstuart.com

Last year I was so lucky to be awarded one of the Kingston University First Grants Schemes🌠My project is a small-scale Conversation Analysis pilot study where I'm video-recording conversations between patients with a learning disability and hospice staff. Read all about it in our new protocol paper!
