Adult Community Speech and Language Therapy Service

The Adult Community Speech and Language Therapy Service (SLT) is for people over 18 years of age who have problems with speech, language and swallowing. We cover the Central Lancashire area. 

The speech and language therapists are specialists in assessing, diagnosing and supporting people with communication and/or swallowing problems. Speech and language therapists work with other professionals such as GPs, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and dietitians.

We work in people's homes, clinics and nursing homes. 

The service also provides assessment and therapy for those who stammer.

How to access the service

If there is a problem with swallowing, referrals can be made via your GP or health professional.

If there is a problem with communication only, you can refer yourself. 

Where the service is provided

The service is based at our Ribbleton Clinic in Preston, we offer clinic appointments at the Healthport on Vicarage Lane in Fulwood as well as domiciliary visits depending on service user need.
