IASLT has teamed up with the Equality Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Committee of the School of Health Sciences in the University of Galway to record a series of podcasts related to EDI in Speech and Language Therapy. Divya Ravikumar and Mary-Pat O Malley lead the Culture Working Group in the School of Health Sciences EDI Committee at the University of Galway. They said “we wanted to shine a spotlight on issues of diversity and the experiences of being in a minority in the SLT profession as a starting point for addressing the topic across health care professions. We realised that this aligned with the IASLT Strategic Plan 2023-2025 Area 3 Inclusion & Diversity and agreed to collaborate with IASLT to develop a series of podcasts on the topic for the IASLT In Conversation podcast. These podcasts can be used to help both SLTs in training and SLTs develop their cultural sensitivity.”
This is the final podcast in a 4 part series.
