Speech pathology practice in Neonatal Care S06 E16

In this week’s episode, SPA’s Senior Advisor Professional Standards, Marie Atherton, speaks with Angie Canning and Justine Slattery, Project Officers for the development of the Practice Guideline: Speech pathology practice in Neonatal Care. They discuss the range of roles of speech pathologists have in Australian NICUs, the transition from problem-based to developmental care models, the range of team members they collaborate with, and how professionals can skill-up to provide evidence-based services. Speech Pathology Australia acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of lands, seas and waters throughout Australia, and pay respect to Elders past, present and future. We recognise that the health and social and emotional wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are grounded in continued connection to culture, country, language and community and acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded.
