My AI Journey
Having worked as a Speech and Language Therapist in the UK for nearly 30 years I have lived through many changes and adapted as technology has advanced. Initially the idea of generative AI was concerning and I worried that that it would be difficult to learn. However, once I took the plunge the benefits became clear. Over the past year, I've delved into its capabilities and am still amazed daily by the ways it enhances my clinical practice, streamlines administrative tasks, and expands my professional knowledge.

Using Generative AI in SLT Workshop
In my workshops, I share valuable insights and offer a platform for Speech and Language Therapists to discover how innovative technologies like ChatGPT, Copilot, and many more can be creatively and ethically integrated into clinical practice. This exploration aims to revolutionise our work, enabling more meaningful time with clients, the creation of highly personalised therapy sessions, and keeping us updated with the latest research - all while helping maintain a healthier work-life balance. As SLTs, your deep understanding of language processing uniquely positions you to easily grasp large language models. I promise, navigating this technology will feel intuitive and rewarding!
