Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has been a dark cloud for all, but particularly for healthcare workers. However, despite the many challenges and stresses faced, speech and language therapists working in intensive care units in the UK have found a silver lining. This “Spotlight on: The COVID-19 silver lining for speech and language therapists” outlines some of these positive outcomes including: the increased recognition of the SLT role, increased visibility, improved services, increased productivity, and a promising future. By recognising and celebrating some of the positive developments made during the pandemic we can continue to work to ensure equity of provision for all patients in intensive care.
