Infos

Like all health professionals, speech and language therapists
(SLTs) need to keep themselves up-to-date with the research
evidence base that is relevant to their field of practice and be
able to show how this contributes to their clinical
decision-making. However, it is not always clear to practitioners
how evidence-based practice (EBP) can be properly embedded in their
day-to-day activities. In this valuable book, Hazel Roddam and
Jemma Skeat present a wealth of instructive examples by SLT
contributors from around the world, showing how clinicians,
educators, and researchers have risen to the EBP challenge.

Embedding evidence-based practice in speech and language
therapy showcases the creative ways that SLTs are developing
knowledge and skills for EBP, creating contexts that support the
use of evidence in practice, and working towards making evidence
easily accessible and usable. It includes real-life examples of how
SLTs have encountered a clinical problem or situation and have
accessed and used the evidence within their day-to-day practice.
The contributors come from a wide range of work settings, from
services situated within large organizations to those in
independent practice, and represent a range of clinical areas, from
paediatric to adult and across speech, language, voice, fluency,
Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), and
dysphagia.

This book is written for an audience of clinical practitioners,
at any stage of their career, and is additionally a valuable
resource for SLT students and lecturers.
