Sophie qualified as a Speech and Language Therapist from City University in 1998 and since that time has worked with adults with acquired neurological disorders in a variety of settings. Shortly after qualifying, Sophie carried out research into information-giving for people with aphasia on stroke wards, which culminated in the publication of ‘Stroke Talk’, an aphasia-friendly resource for people in hospital following stroke. As a clinician, Sophie has experience of working with multidisciplinary teams in the community, and has recently been involved with new projects working alongside consultant clinics specialising in palliative care in Parkinson’s Disease and also with the monthly regional Huntington’s Disease clinic.
