Here's what other members say about Speech & Language Therapy in Practice...
From Dr Caroline Bowen:
“As a busy clinician with a specialist focus, what I really like is the way Speech & Language Therapy in Practice provides a broad view of aspects of professional practice, clinical thinking and innovation in areas I don’t necessarily encounter day-to-day. And that means it’s not only a ‘good read’, it’s an intelligent, helpful read that speaks to the therapist in me.”
From April Winstock, a member for 19 years:
“I always look forward to Speech & Language Therapy in Practice because it
...provides excellent theoretical information with a clear emphasis on its practical application
...covers a wide range of subjects, with something for everyone
...has extremely useful reviews of books, resources and tests
...is eminently readable and enjoyable, and a valuable source of ideas.”
From Lorna Meech, NHS and Independent Practice:
“I find Speech & Language Therapy in Practice practical, easy to read and so relevant to everyday practice. The length is just right so you can pick it up between things and complete an article – and then find yourself sometime later still reading as it’s too good to put down!”
From Barbara White, Technical Instructor III:
“Speech & Language Therapy in Practice is user friendly and, with pricing in line with income, is excellent value for money. Interesting research is explained in language suitable for assistants and it tells you how – not just results.”
From Susan Hyde Wright:
"I continue to enjoy the practical, accessible style of the contributions; not overloaded with 'stats' and references. I read it cover to cover. Keep it up."
From Jane Stokes:
“Speech & Language Therapy in Practice has always provided the working clinician with interesting information about the practical aspects of being a speech and language therapist. I have often found that articles have come just at the right time to support managers’ ideas for change and clinical practitioners’ desire for inspiration. Now, as a lecturer in speech and language therapy, the publication fills the gap between academic research focused writing and students’ hunger for knowledge about how you actually DO the job of a speech and language therapist. The areas that the publication reaches are often those that are not touched in other publications, such as working with diverse communities, the role of life coaching and tips for therapy. It’s a really useful and worthwhile publication.”
From Dr Liz Dean:
“Speech & Language Therapy in Practice combines readability with substance. A high percentage of the articles are highly relevant to my clinical practice, they are attractively presented and are well referenced (including the editorial comments and questions which provoke reflection and tie in with my CPD targets).”
From Professor Jannet Wright:
"I like writing for Speech & Language Therapy in Practice because I know that my articles will be read by many clinicians and students and I have always appreciated the support and encouragement that Avril Nicoll provides in her role as editor. For these reasons I also encourage my PhD students and new authors to submit their work to the magazine."
From Paula Leslie:
"Even seasoned clinicians struggle to access and integrate evidence into daily practice, and few publications attempt to bridge the chasm between 'best evidence' and clinical reality. Speech & Language Therapy in Practice shows it is our responsibility to critique our daily practice and our rationale by consistently addressing clinical matters from the clinician's perspective and making the evidence accessible."
From Jois Stansfield:
"Speech & Language Therapy in Practice does exactly what the title suggests. In addressing practical issues in an accessible and entertaining way, it identifies issues which challenge the profession in an easily readable format."
