MARION SAUNDERS
EXCELLENCE IN SPEECH-LANGUAGE THERAPY PRACTICE AWARD
The Marion Saunders Trustees invite applications for the Marion Saunders
Excellence in Speech-language Therapy Practice Award.
Value of award:
$1,000 (awarded every year of the Professional Development Symposium)
The closing date is the deadline for abstract submission to the symposium.
This award is open to all NZSTA members who have had a presentation accepted at
the NZSTA Professional Development Symposium. This runs every second year.
This award is for an innovative project that has clinical/practice application and
impact within the New Zealand context. Your written abstract, and presentation at
the Professional Development Symposium, needs to highlight how it achieves these
criteria.
Applicants need to request that their project be submitted for this award by emailing
the Professional Development Portfolio Holder at the point of abstract submission
for the event. During the symposium these abstracts and presentations will be
reviewed by an anonymous award panel to recommend three for consideration by
the Marion Saunders Trust Trustees who will select the practice award winner.
The winner will be invited to submit a brief write up of their project for inclusion in
the NZSTA Communication Matters publication.
