Speech and language therapy for adults

    • Listening to patients
    • Listening to patients

Our speech and language therapy service for adults provides a range of support if you are suffering from speech, language and/or swallowing problems which may have developed following a stroke, dementia, MS or cancer for example. 

We have special services to help if you have a stammer. Our speech and language therapy team can help you to increase your confidence in speaking, help with your fluency and also give you targeted help on specific speaking situations which you may struggle with.

We also offer a service to adults with a learning disability who have problems with their speech, language and/or swallowing problems associated with learning difficulties.

Clinics

Our speech therapists can you see you in a number of locations including outpatient clinics in our general and community hospitals, nursing and residential homes and in your own home.  We will carry out an assessment with you and develop a tailored programme of support.

The stammering service offers individual and group sessions as well as providing information on other types of help available.
