Karen Yuill explains the application process for a travel scholarship to develop her community service for people with aphasia and gives a brief resume of her team’s development to date. The scholarship enabled her to meet with a similar community service in Northern Ireland and with the charity Speechmatters as well as attend the Royal College of Speech & Language Therapists conference ‘Realising the vision’. Karen has returned with ideas about extending accessible information, user involvement and support for carers and focusing on quality of life measures.
