Better Conversations Communication Partner Training for Acquired Neurological Conditions: How to do this in practice.

A clinical course for speech and language therapists to build practical skills in delivering communication partner training. Delivered by: Dr Anna Volkmer (UCL and National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, Queen Square) and Dr Suzanne Beeke (UCL) who are both co- lead the Better Conversations team.

The Better Conversations team at UCL is thrilled to announce our fourth International Better Conversations Conference to be held on Thursday 4th September 2025 from 10.00am to 5.00pm. This is a hybrid event at 33 Queen Square, this page is for in-person bookings.

Our aim is to provide an opportunity to share good practice in communication partner training (CPT), value the input of experts by experience, SLTs, student SLTs, SLT assistants, neurologists and psychologists in this area, and create a sustainable community of practice. We are using CPT as an umbrella term for all types of intervention focused on improving the everyday conversation skills of people with communication difficulties and needs, and their family communication partners.  Conference speakers will share their experiences of CPT as people with communication difficulties, families and healthcare professionals. The BC Conference organising committee is made up of experts by experience, SLTs and academics.

We will send out slides and handouts in advance by email and we encourage you to go green by using a tablet or laptop to view them on the day.
