Hello -- I am currently working as an American SLP. I have been working in the schools for the past 4 years, and worked in a pediatric hospital for one year prior to the schools. I am looking into what it would take to move to the UK on a working visa, as my boyfriend of almost two years has recently lost his US visa and has had to return to the UK. It seems possible in my field, but difficult. It also seems that the field is quite different in the UK than it is in the US.
I've searched through the old posts and have found a number of posts by American SLPs who were looking into moving to the UK or who successfully did it. I am wondering if any of them are still around? Or if anyone on these boards could put me in touch with a speech-language therapist in the UK? I am looking for any information about the field in general and differences/similarities to the field in the US, especially for pediatrics. Any information on the feasibilty of getting a working visa would also be very helpful.
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated!
