What it covers
You will be introduced to the principles and expectations of professional practice in speech pathology. You will explore topics such as clinical governance, ethical decision-making, documentation, and workplace communication. You will examine the roles and responsibilities of speech pathologists across various settings and develop the professional behaviours required for placement. Through simulated learning experiences and reflective activities, you will prepare for the transition from academic to clinical environments. Emphasis is placed on interprofessional practice, safety, accountability, and culturally safe and responsive care.
