This doctoral study explored how speech and language therapists (SLTs) and nurses shared information about communication and swallowing on stroke units. Data for this ethnographic study included observations of SLTs and nurses at work, interviews, and patient records. The project was led by Dr Rachel Barnard with supervision from Dr. Madeline Cruice and Professor Julia Jones. After the research, researchers collaborated with people with aphasia, SLTs and nurses to create a 10-minute video for staff on stroke wards, inviting SLTs and nurses to think how they can work together to improve the communication experience of patients.
