On
Speech Pathology Research
Speech Pathology research is largely clinically based and aimed at improving the outcomes of patients and contributing to the evidence-base of Speech Pathology. Previous and current research encompass the clinical areas of severe burn injury, tracheostomy, critical care, head and neck cancer, clinical education, aged care, palliative care and aphasia post stroke.
