This is a unique opportunity to influence RCSLT policy, in an area that will
be of increasing importance, as the evidence base for our practice comes
under more scrutiny.

Northern Research SIG
Clinical Research: Building a Professional Structure

The Northern Research SIG is pleased to host this national meeting.
Speech and language therapists throughout the UK are invited to
discuss this important issue.

Evidence based practice is the mantra but how can we achieve this as
a Profession? What support structures exist? How do we link the
clinic and the research project? What are the strategic plans within
RCSLT and HPC?

Tuesday 1 March 2005
10:00 - 16:00
Research Beehive (really!) University of Newcastle upon Tyne
Members £10 non Members £20

Ms Anne Whateley and Dr Sue Roulstone from RCSLT together with
Professor Paul Carding and Dr Paula Leslie will present and discuss
on the issues facing our profession as it faces this challenge.
