Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists

• What they offer / teach

  This is the professional body for speech and language therapists rather than a direct service provider: it supports speech and language therapists by providing leadership and guidance, facilitating research, and promoting better education and training. It also offers membership benefits, professional networks, events and webinars, guidance (e.g. for overseas-qualified practitioners and graduates), and campaigning such as the 'Invest in SLT' campaign to improve access to speech and language therapy. The site explains what speech and language therapy is, covering support with communication, speech, eating, drinking and swallowing.
