Quote from Steve Jamieson, the Chief Executive of the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists, about the UK Government's Health and Growth Accelerators announcement in February 2026: "We welcome the UK Government’s £25m investment in Health and Growth Accelerators to better link health and work support. If the NHS is to be accountable for employment outcomes, we must involve the right professionals. Speech and language therapists play a vital role in supporting people with communication, cognitive, and voice needs to stay in and return to work. Enabling support from and access to speech and language therapists to advise on workplace support is critical to ensuring people get tailored, expert support to meet their communication needs. Good work and good communication go hand in hand.”
📢 'Good work and good communication go hand in hand.'
🚨 The RCSLT responds to the Govt's Health and Growth Accelerators announcement.
🗣️ It is essential that people with communication, cognitive, and voice needs can access speech and language therapy so they can stay in and return to work.
