Wednesday 14 March 2012, 6pm
Come to an evening of informal and informative short talks presented by ten Speech & Language Therapists from a range of backgrounds. Broaden your perspective, learn from others, share your own experiences, and socialise over a glass of wine—it’s a more inspiring version of CPD!
We’ll have speakers covering a diverse range of topics: new therapy techniques, practical insights from different settings, and interesting case studies. It’s inspired by the Ignite events whose motto is: “Enlighten us, but make it quick!”
