Join us for a Free Regional & Rural Laryngectomy Peer Support Group. This specialised virtual Peer Support Group has been set up to support Speech Pathologists working in regional and rural services who provide care to individuals before and after total laryngectomy. The purpose of the group is to provide impartial peer support and foster networking and evidence-based practice. Our group can help you to widen your peer network, share ideas, keep up to date, inform clinical practice, earn CPD points, and review the evidence behind clinical practice.
