NHS Workforce Review

In May 2006, the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists submitted a paper to the annual NHS Workforce Review Team. This document aims to broadly describe how speech therapists work and how they are key to delivering priorities in service delivery, such as reducing waiting times and achieving health targets in the current NHS environment. Managers may find the information and references helpful in making a case for speech therapy services.

The Workforce Review Team's own recommendations are also available. Alongside planning statistics for Strategic Health Authorities, there is a textual commentary providing useful information relating the role and value of SLTs to the Government's own agenda, incorporating RCSLT's work.
