Glasgow School of Speech Therapy Celebrates 85 Years
The motion
That the Parliament notes that in 1919 Dr Anne McAllister, a founding member of the speech and language therapy profession, started teaching trainee speech therapists in Glasgow; understands that this course was formally recognised in 1935 as the Glasgow School of Speech Therapy, later merging with Jordanhill College and then the University of Strathclyde, and that the course is now the longest established in Scotland and the second oldest in the UK; acknowledges that, in its 85-year history, the course has evolved from awarding College of Speech Therapy Diplomas to BEd and BSc (Hons) degrees to supervising qualified speech and language therapists at MSc, MPhil and PhD level, and welcomes that a commemorative gala dinner is being held on 3 April 2020 to mark the occasion and the achievements of generations of speech and language therapists, as well as Glasgow’s contribution to the profession.
