Evidence-based practice

Our professional body, The Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT) advocates for evidence-based practice (EBP) as a cornerstone of high-quality Speech and Language Therapy. EBP includes:

• Integration of Research and Clinical Expertise: Integrating the best available research evidence with clinical expertise and the needs and preferences of individuals. This approach ensures that therapeutic interventions are effective and relevant to the child and their family.

• Continuous Professional Development: Ongoing professional development and training for speech and language therapists ensures they stay updated with the latest research and methodologies.  

• Use of Best Available Evidence: The RCSLT encourages therapists to utilise high-quality research evidence when making clinical decisions, which includes critically appraising research studies and incorporating findings into practice.

• Client-Centred Care: EBP involves considering the values, preferences, and unique circumstances of young people and their families. 

• Outcome Measurement: Evaluating outcomes of interventions helps to determine their effectiveness and make necessary adjustments. This involves using valid and reliable tools to assess progress and impact.

• Ethical Considerations: The RCSLT stresses that EBP should also consider ethical issues and ensure that interventions do not only rely on evidence but also align with ethical standards and best practices.
