The City Cambodia Project 2017: Week 14
Our final week! Speech and language therapy in Cambodia has come a long way since the project started eleven years ago.

The City Cambodia Project 2017: Week 13
Our role here is to train and empower others so that they can do the work after we leave, rather than to give children speech therapy. The foundations have now been laid for a full university course in speech and language therapy to develop, giving speech and language therapy more recognition in Cambodia and enabling this profession to grow throughout the country.

The City Cambodia Project 2017: Week 8
To see the medical team and speech therapy team working collaboratively to decide on this patient’s care path was really encouraging and a great way to start the week as it shows the increased awareness and recognition speech and language therapy has gained since this project began 11 years ago.

The City Cambodia Project 2017: Week 7
"On Thursday it was day two of our time on the Smile Cambodia mission. The team were all happy to see us again and had another list of patients for us. Alongside seeing patients in our therapy room, we also visited patients post-surgery on the wards to give advice. The mission made us feel very valued as we really felt that the team were interested in hearing what we had to say."

The City Cambodia Project 2017: Week 6
In Cambodia there is not a Council that sets standards for things like progress notes and documentation. We realised the full effects of this today when we asked to see the speech notes of a patient who had been to the clinic four times previously. This made the session very difficult as there was no record of previous therapy or the speech sounds being targeted.
