Our first RCSLT Connect event in England took place in Manchester on 17 October at The Midland Hotel.
The focus of the day was on developing the speech and language therapy workforce. We were excited to offer eight tailor-made workshops for members to take part in to develop their skills, reflect on how they are currently working, and build invaluable CPD which can be used in practise. Workshop options included:
EDI, evidence-based practice, supporting with adult/children workforce challenges, mapping your professional development journey, developing your career through enhanced and advancing practice, SLTs and tackling health inequalities and support for SLTs in the independent sector.
As well as rich workshopping, Connect England will provided members with key RCSLT updates on current and future projects, as well as protected networking time to share learning, ideas, and build connections with fellow SLTs and RCSLT staff.
By attending this event, delegates:
- Heard updates on current and future work and projects applicable to RCSLT members and why and how members can get involved
- Had protected networking time to help develop closer professional links with England-based colleagues and RCSLT staff
- Attended interactive workshops which will develop your skills and contribute to your CPD
- Heard the latest about key topics affecting the profession and learn more about the resources available to support you and your networks
