S
PEECH PATHOLOGY is an
ever-advancing profession
with speech pathologists
servicing an increasingly varied
and complex clientele. Research
evidence is essential for best
practice. The Melbourne 2014
Conference Planning Committee
(CPC) invites clinicians, researchers,
and academics to explore the
three other key areas of evidence
based practice, namely the
client’s
perspective, the
clinician’s
clinical
experience, and the clinical
context
.
Marvellous Melbourne is diverse,
energetic and multicultural; ideal
for those seeking new and
innovative experiences. So come
join us in 2014 for
Connections:
Client • Clinician • Context.
Included with this issue of
Speak
Out
you will find the 2014 Invitation
and Call for Papers. We encourage
you to ‘spread the news’ through
your many networks, colleagues
and friends, wherever they are in
the world. Provide them with a link
to the Association’s website,
www.
speechpathologyaustralia.org.au ,where they can read more about
the 2014 National Conference and
submission process.
The online abstract submission will
go live from
Friday 28 June 2013
.
We have also included on the
Conference website
Instructions
and Guidelines
for making
submissions, which will assist
you prior to the actual submission
process. Please remember that
delegates will only have access to
the title of the paper and author(s)
name when they register and select
sessions they wish to attend, so
please carefully think about your
presentation title. This will help ensure
the audience you wish to attract and
those who have the greatest interest
in your topic will attend.
While the closing date for submissions
is
Tuesday 24 September 2013
,
there is no need to wait until the due
date to submit your proposal.
Kerry Ttofari Eecen, Chair of the
Scientific Program Sub-Committee
looks forward to working with you
during the submission process.
The CPC is currently liaising
with the Keynote Speakers and
we will introduce them to you
over the coming months.
On behalf of the CPC, we look
forward to bringing to you the
