Introduction to the newly-qualified practitioners' pages

Welcome to the RCSLT's pages for newly-qualified members

Whether you are at the start of your first year as an SLT or approaching certified RCSLT membership, we have a wealth of resources to help you though this important transitional phase in your career.

It is the responsibility of the NQP and employer to ensure the direct line manager/supervisor is both a registered member of HPC and RCSLT. The RCSLT recommend that this is confirmed before the NQP commences employment. The RCSLT will not verify any framework that has been completed without the signature of a registered member of the RCSLT.

The RCSLT competency-based framework for newly-qualified practitioners supports learning and development in the first year of practice and as evidence of readiness to transfer to full RCSLT membership
