Royal College of Speech and Language Therapist's 2012 Conference
11-12 September 2012
The Midland Hotel, Manchester
Call for submissions: deadline 30 April 2012
Driving transformation using evidence-based practice
The RCSLT is aware that current drivers, including austerity measures, are impacting adversely on the quality of speech and language services across the UK and that members are looking to the RCSLT to provide leadership to support them in response to this.
We know that the funding of services is determined by the evidence of what works, outcomes for service users and cost effectiveness/value for money.
This conference will provide an emerging picture of best practice across speech and language services.
The conference, which takes place every three years, is our largest gathering of the profession from across the UK. It will support members to respond to the current and future challenges by:
• Sharing successful approaches to developing a business case using evidence-based practice.
• Asking those engaged in emerging innovations to share what they are doing.
• Sharing the vision for a proposed infrastructure that would support more active engagement in building and implementing the evidence base.
