A multi-dimensional structure, allowing the clinician to consider both specific aspects of patient management and aspects such as clinical effectiveness, clinical efficiencies and service management.







Photocopiable clinical resources, from an at-a-glance summary of voice disorders to treatment and assessment protocols, and practical exercises and advice sheets for patients.







Sample programmes for voice information groups and teacher workshops.







Checklists for patients on topics such as the environmental and acoustic challenges of the workplace.







Self-assessed personalised voice review sheets and weekly voice diaries encourage patients to monitor their voice quality and utilise strategies to prevent vocal misuse.

This is an essential resource for speech and language therapists of varying levels of experience, from student to specialist.
