The Disaster Emergency Committee’s (DEC) Coronavirus Appeal is being supported by this CPD webinar for Speech and Language Therapists.

When major disasters hit countries without the capacity to respond, the DEC brings together 14 leading UK aid charities to raise funds quickly and efficiently, enabling their member charities to rapidly scale up their operations on the ground. The DEC are currently running a Coronavirus appeal. As lockdown lifts here in the UK, millions of lives are at stake around the world as Covid-19 hits refugee camps and war-torn countries like Yemen,
Syria and South Sudan. The DEC helps families fleeing violence, conflict and hunger as they face a deadly new threat with no NHS to help if they fall ill. The DEC helps by providing families with clean water, soap and information on keeping themselves safe, by providing frontline medical and aid workers with equipment and supplies to care for the vulnerable and sick, and by ensuring families get enough food to prevent malnutrition, particularly amongst children.

This fantastic charity is doing amazing work. Please help us to reach our donation goal!

The webinar supporting this charity is part of the Magpie
CPD Webinar series which has evolved from the Magpies #SLT2B Project. Due to popular demand, a selection of the most popular webinars will be running as the Magpie Summer CPD Specials and are open to all Speech and Language Therapists! If you’d like to see what the buzz is about, do join us!

The Magpie #SLT2B project is a regular online slot for
current pre-registration/student SLTs to meet and learn from experienced clinicians in the absence of clinical placements. From its inception in March 2020, over 150 webinars have taken place with over 1000 students from across the UK and Ireland signed up to take part. The webinars are paired with a thriving Facebook community of members, dedicated to clinical learning opportunities.

The #SLT2B project and the Magpies Summer CPD Specials are spearheaded by Amy Stephens, a Consultant SLT and Advanced Ayres Sensory Integration Practitioner.  With many years’ experience in designing and hosting online learning, Amy is passionate about inspiring people to learn and grow, clients and therapists alike!
