This course has been designed and will be run by Speech & Language Therapists who have considerable experience and enthusiasm for working in independent practice.

The course is aimed at Speech & Language Therapists with at least two years clinical experience who are thinking about, or who have recently set up an independent practice – whilst possibly still employed by the NHS.

The course will take delegates through the process of getting started in independent practice, highlight different models of working independently. It will guide you through the professional issues of insurance, finance, working with others and business planning.

Share your thoughts and ideas, hear real life stories, brainstorm common queries and have all of your questions answered. Then, you can decide whether independent practice is for you.
