Pre-conference reading material
This one-day conference was for managers and leaders in speech and language therapy services in England
The direction of healthcare in Britain for the next 10 years is being redefined. In order to keep at the forefront of these changes, we need to create responsive, appropriate and accessible services
The day looked at what you need to do to ensure that your services meet the needs of the public and that you are the first choice provider for the local population
We addressed:
- Finding out what commissioners want
- Finding out which services people need and how to meet these needs
- Challenging current ways of service delivery
- Redefining your service to meet the commissioning challenge
- Models for future service provision
Professor David Colin-Thomé, the National Clinical Director for Primary Care and internationally recognised as being at the forefront of NHS reform
