Dear Colleagues and ESLA Members,
I hope you are all well.
I am writing to share an important update regarding this year’s EU Speech and Language Therapy Day. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we will unfortunately not be able to gather in person in Brussels as originally planned.
While this is disappointing, I am very much looking forward to celebrating the day together with you online on 6 March. Our virtual event will bring colleagues from across Europe together and will feature a keynote address by Rachel Barton, SLT. I truly hope you will join us for what I believe will be an inspiring and forward-looking occasion for our profession.
I am also very pleased to share with you ESLA’s new Position Paper, “Shaping the Future of Speech and Language Therapy with Artificial Intelligence,” which we have developed on behalf of our European community. As Chair, I am particularly proud of this document. It reflects our collective commitment to ensuring that artificial intelligence strengthens — rather than replaces — the human-centred values at the heart of Speech and Language Therapy.
Artificial Intelligence is already influencing healthcare systems across Europe. It is therefore essential that our profession speaks with a clear and united voice about how AI should be used ethically, responsibly, and in ways that promote communication, participation, and inclusion. This Position Paper sets out that vision and reinforces the importance of Speech and Language Therapists as key stakeholders in digital health and rehabilitation policy.
The paper will be officially launched during our online event on 6 March.
Thank you for your continued dedication to our profession and for your flexibility during this change of plans. As Chair, I very much look forward to celebrating EU SLT Day with you and to continuing our important work together across Europe.
Here’s the registration link for the event, which you’re welcome to share with your members:
With warm regards,
Sahra Mengal
