Research Conference 2024
Our annual research conference took place on the 21st March 2024. We were lucky to hear from six amazing speakers, Dr Louise Allen, Dr Veena Mohan, Catherine Atkinson, Caroline McCallum, Dr Aoife Molloy and Professor Tony Young. It was a very insightful day, filled with lots of learning and inspiration. The conference was held in a hybrid format, and the recording has been posted on YouTube for all to watch.

Verbo app
The Speech and Language Therapy (SaLT) department have created an app called Verbo. The app provides schools with a toolkit and access to SaLT support via a virtual platform to help communication skills in children and young people in both primary and secondary schools. Subscriptions are being provided to both schools and other settings across the country!
Verbo has also won awards, such as both the DigiLeaders Healthtech & DigiLeaders Peoples Choice Award at the Impact & Summit Awards. In addition to a Highly Commended Award at the HSJ awards! We are extremely proud of Verbo's development!

Red4Research Day
We celebrated Red4Research day, which aims to get as many people as possible wearing red to support those participating in and conducting research. We hosted a table at the hospital reception, where we shared information on a variety of reseach studies we are running. We would like to thank everyone who stopped to speak to us and filled in a survey. We filled 108!
