Synopsis

Speech and language therapy clinicians are in a unique position to contribute to the evidence base since they are a prime source of viable research questions, which can be generated from their everyday clinical practice. These will relate directly to their services and service users.

Creating Practice-based Evidence aims to help SLTs to become research active within their existing clinical environment. It contains practical information, advice and guidance to help clinicians get started on manageable research projects, based on their everyday caseload and activities. Drawing on the experiences of expert contributors, it helps readers perceive the research potential within their clinical contexts and guides prospective researchers in where to seek support. It also offers advice for those wishing to move on and develop a research career. It will appeal to those SLTs and managers who need to create evidence in response to demands from commissioners or services-users and to those who just want to satisfy their own curiosity. Ultimately, it will appeal to those who wish to promote a research culture in their clinical environment to support local services and their clinical practice. Through this they will also be contributing to the broader evidence base.
