Did you know men make up just 3% of the speech and language therapy workforce in the UK? In Boys’ Corner, a new mini-series hosted by Rich and Cristian, we explore what it’s like to be part of that small percentage. In Episode 1, we start unpacking the current landscape of men in SLT, sharing our own experiences as male practitioners, and hearing directly from SLT students about what it’s been like entering the profession.
