Speech and language therapists take part in open day
Wednesday 22nd April 2009
A number of people with speech and language therapy jobs were recently involved in an open day at a hospital in Newport.
The professionals demonstrated vocal exercises and offered free advice and techniques to people at the Royal Gwent Hospital, the BBC reports.
Among those present on the day, which was organised in honour of World Voice Day and was targeted at people who use their voices for their living, was speech therapist Salianne Newman.
She said: "We want everyone to get the best out of their voice."
Singers, lecturers and call centre workers were among the groups the advice was aimed at.
Ear nose and throat consultant at the hospital Ali Raza stated: "It's important to protect your voice, especially in professions where you overuse your voice, such as teaching or singing, because if you don't it can cause long-lasting damage to the vocal cords."
Royal Gwent Hospital is run by Gwent Healthcare NHS Trust, which employs more than 12,500 workers.
