Description
After 10 years working within the NHS as a speech and language therapist, I left to lecture to the undergrads at Ulster university while starting my independent practice, Let’s Expand Communication. Eight years later, come join me on my mission to provide an unfiltered journey into unknown dimensions of SLT. I’ll have day to day passionate conversations with speech and language therapists, who share their thoughts on all things business, clinical, and professional about their vocation.
Thank you for listening.
