On 23th November 2024 we launched Supervision in Speech and Language Therapy: Personal Stories and Professional Wisdom, an anthology of personal narratives that aims to stimulate reflection on contemporary issues in supervision as well as individual, service and organisational supervision culture and practice.
Co-editors Cathy Sparkes, Sam Simpson and Deborah Harding enjoyed a stimulating evening of celebration at City St George’s University of London together with contributors and supervision allies within speech and language therapy and allied health. The mix of speakers reflected the many and varied voices and perspectives in the book.
Here we share some photographic highlights of the evening:
Designed as a collection of possibilities rather than a definitive guide, Supervision in Speech and Language Therapy: Personal Stories and Professional Wisdom offers a window into a less visible and rarely discussed aspect of practice. Contributors draw on first-hand encounters of supervision to share insights from both professional and public perspectives. These span practice contexts from pre-registration to qualified and into advanced clinical practice and management roles. The accounts include individual, team, multi-professional, independent and public sector experiences within and beyond the speech and language therapy profession.
Supervision in Speech and Language Therapy: Personal Stories and Professional Wisdom can be purchased via Routledge.
