The 5th Royal College of Speech & Language Therapists conference ‘Realising the vision’ ran from 10-12 May 2006 at the University of Ulster, Jordanstown. There were 5 keynote addresses, 16 parallel sessions and 66 poster presentations. Editor Avril Nicoll reflects on what she felt were the key themes: the context (where we are now); being heard (the impact of a service user’s speech); learning (joint projects between universities and services); the future (user involvement; the ethos of therapy; economic evaluation).
