Speech and Language Sciences at Newcastle University has spent a lot of time over the past few weeks finding its way out of the dark ages and catching up with the modern world! For those of you who aren’t yet aware, we have relaunched our Speech and language Sciences at Newcastle Univeristy Facebook page which has now gained over 300 likes and attracts daily interest from therapists and students from all over the world. As a department we are pleased to be able to share resources and information from our staff and from all over the speech world to our followers and friends. For those of you who haven’t liked us yet, our page can be found at https://www.facebook.com/slsncl

Sls@ncl has also appeared on…. Twitter! Yes, conversations with staff about “twitting(?)” have been refined and now we are “tweeting” daily, again sharing resources and engaging in professional discussions with the speech world. You can find the link to our Twitter page at https://twitter.com/SLSncl

Finally, we have produced a LinkedIn page and discussion area for past students, professionals and SLTs to join together, keep in contact with ex-classmates and colleagues and engage in inter-professional discussions. Although a bit slow to start with, we are confident that this can become a useful hub for people to use. http://www.linkedin.com/groups/Speech-Language-Sciences-Newcastle-University-5110447?home&gid=5110447&trk=anet_ug_hm

 Happy social media-ing everyone!
