King's Speech may lead to surge in speech and language therapists

The success of ‘The King’s Speech’ at last weekend’s Oscars has helped highlight the importance of speech and language therapy, and may lead to a surge in the number of people training in this area of healthcare.

It remains a challenge for Your World to find enough suitable candidates for speech and language therapy jobs. Due to recent economic problems, many therapists from Australia and other antipodean countries have returned home to find work, depleting the workforce. There is also a lack of experienced therapists and those that deal with specialist areas like early years therapy as it’s such a niche skill.

It’s fantastic to see how successful ‘The King’s Speech’ has been and having highlighted the importance of the work that speech and language therapists do, it will hopefully lead to more people looking to pursue careers in this highly rewarding area.
