In this episode of the podcast, I am grateful to have two fantastic guests join me, Professor Louise Cummings is a professor at the Hong Kong polytechnic university, she conducts research on language and communication disorders and is the author and editor of over 20 books in this area. Kerry Davies is a returning guest, a fellow advocate and nurse who lives with Long Covid and the language and communication disorders associated. We discuss language and communications disorders, the research Louise is undertaking, how communication effects the person, their working life, personal life and how adaptations can support an effective return to work. We discuss the research Louise has undertaken to date, her findings and ongoing research in this area.
I hope you enjoy this episode, take care and as always #onedayatatime
