Speech and Language Therapist Julie Carr joined LCH a year ago and is passionate about helping children to achieve their communicative potential. In this blog, Julie talks about how this passion for her profession has lead her to be an example to others.
I am a speech and
language therapist working in the Children’s Speech and Language Therapy
department. I have been qualified 4 years and have been working in Leeds
Community Healthcare since September 2014. I love working with children and
helping them to achieve their communicative potential.
During my final year as
a student at Newcastle University, the Royal College of Speech and Language
Therapists (RCSLT) launched Giving Voice – a campaign to raise awareness of
Speech and Language Therapy and demonstrate SLT's unique value, to local and
national decision makers. Passionate about the profession and keen to
spread the word about our work I eagerly joined the campaign and became an
active participant.
I was involved in
raising awareness of Giving Voice in a range of activities including writing to
my local MP (Ian Lavery, Wansbeck, Northumberland) to tell him about the
importance and value of Speech and Language Therapy. I was delighted when he
said he wanted to meet with me to learn more and this was the start of a number
of meetings and a long term working relationship with him.
Due to my extensive
involvement in Giving Voice over the last 4 years and also my work engaging
with a local MP, RCSLT invited me to be a guest speaker at a webinar event in
London last month - 'Giving Voice: local heroes make national champions:
engaging with MPs'. RCSLT invited me (and two other members) to share best
practice examples of positive engagement activities.
I was delighted to be
asked to speak at this event and I travelled to London early on Friday morning,
keen to share my experiences. I have spoken at a number of events about Speech
and Language since qualifying but this was my first experience of speaking at a
webinar. Not sure what to expect, I arrived slightly apprehensive but the staff
at RCSLT quickly put me at ease as they talked through the running order of the
day and explained how the equipment worked.
The webinar was live
online at 1pm and RCSLT members began logging on 10 minutes before, ready to
engage in the session. Derek Munn, Head of Policy and Public Affairs at RCSLT
chaired the meeting and welcomed everyone to the event. Peter Just,
Public Affairs advisor at RCSLT was the first speaker and explained the importance
of engaging with MPs and what RCSLT have been doing and plan to do to continue
keeping Speech and Language Therapy on the agenda.
Myself and the other two
speakers (Rachel Clare, student at UCL, and Janet Cooper SLT manger, Stoke
Speaks Out) shared our experiences of raising awareness of Speech and Language
Therapy with MPs, to inspire other members to get involved.
I enjoyed taking part in
the webinar, meeting the other speakers and hearing about their experiences
too. It has reignited my passion for raising awareness of the profession and I
hope to continue spreading awareness of the valuable work of SLTs in Leeds also.
I am hoping we get schools involved in a national joke telling competition
‘Voice Box’ in the autumn term, which is organised by RCSLT and The
Communication Trust.
