IJLCD - Outcomes from a community speech and language therapy service treatment waiting list
09 Feb 2024
00:31:02
What happens to children on a waiting list when they aren't receiving treatment? How many continue to need intervention and how many improve spontaneously? It's difficult to research because it's too hard to collect this data ethically and also without impacting the subjects and therefore potentially changing the results.
Nevertheless, occasional opportunities arise for reviewing data from waiting lists. In this podcast we chat with Elizabeth and Sue about their research into an ethnically diverse community paediatric speech and language therapy service waiting list in the UK, where levels of social disadvantage are high.

IJLCD - 'Like going into a chocolate shop blindfolded': What do people with primary progressive aphasia want from speech and language therapy?
03 Jul 2023
00:31:46
'Primary progressive aphasia (PPA)' is an umbrella term for a group of language-led dementias which leave people unable to communicate effectively with others. PPA can have a devastating impact on people's ability to function and socialise. Speech and language therapy offers a range of potential benefits to people with PPA. However, until now there has been little research asking them and their families about what help they would like from speech and language therapy. In this podcast we chat with Chris Hardy, Anna Volkmer, Jason Warren about their research (*and that of colleagues) about their research to answer that question.
A. Volkmer, J. Cartwright, L. Ruggero, A. Beales, J. Gallée, S. Grasso, M. Henry, R. Jokel, J. Kindell, R. Khayum, M. Pozzebon, E. Rochon, C. Taylor-Rubin, R. Townsend, F. Walker, S. Beeke & D.

Introducing the RCSLT Support workers' framework and hub
05 Jun 2023
00:33:39
We all know that the NHS is under enormous pressure and so we need to start being more innovative about ways in which we can resource the NHS. Support workers, of course, play an enormously important role, both within the NHS and further afield.
The RCSLT has developed a framework which is specific to speech and language therapist support workers, which defines the competencies and skills required in the role, how are these recognised and how should supervision take place, as well as providing a structure for the career progression of support workers.
In this podcast, we are joined by some of the people who were involved in the development of that framework. And they’re here to talk to us about what it is and why it matters. Whether you’re a support worker, an speech and language therapist, or a manager.
Interviewees:
Alice Howells - speech and language therapy masters student
Ruth Howes - Lead author of the framework and Specialist SLT
Charlotte McCollum - SeniorSpeech and Language Therapist, Chatterbug Ltd
Samantha Thinnesen - Speech and Language Therapy Assistant in Head, Neck and Voice
Anti-racism in speech and language therapy: part 3
01 Jun 2023
00:47:16
This, the third in our series of podcasts looking at anti-racism in speech and language therapy, centres on the Anti-racism survey report Feb 2023 which was researched and written by SLT student and EDI rep at Reading University, Chloe Nkomo.

Key findings from the report.
Lessons learned, but what still needs to happen.
What can each of us do about it?
How to manage uncomfortable conversations.
How to challenge racist behaviour, or practices that disadvantage minoritised groups.
Being able to reflect on your own background and how that might marginalise or advantage you.
Making a start on this journey.
RCSLT's role in this
