Join Jess Francis for a three-part advanced webinar series exploring how to move beyond basic AI use toward thoughtful, integrated practice in speech pathology. Across the series, complex documentation, clinical decision-making, therapy material development, and the practical realities of implementing AI safely and sustainably within your service will be examined. Strategies for navigating governance, consent, and team readiness will be provided, while strengthening confidence in using AI as a clinical thought partner. Designed for clinicians ready to deepen their approach, this series focuses on integration, not just tools.
Learning objectives
Upon successful completion of this webinar series, participants will be able to:
- Apply advanced AI strategies to support complex documentation, clinical reasoning and therapy material development in speech pathology practice.
- Evaluate the risks, limitations and ethical considerations associated with AI use in clinical contexts, including governance, consent and data handling.
- Design practical workflows that integrate AI into everyday practice while maintaining professional standards and clinical integrity.
- Develop an implementation plan to move from ad hoc AI use toward sustainable, system-level integration within their service or organisation.
Who should attend
Registrants must be speech pathologists or speech pathology students who have undertaken relevant lectures, coursework or clinical placements. This is an intermediate webinar series, intended for participants who have some prior experience or understanding of the topic. This level explores concepts in greater depth, applies knowledge to more complex situations, and encourages reflection and skill development through practical examples.
If you attended the 2025 AI webinar series (live or on demand), this event covers similar topics but includes more advanced use cases, as well as a focus on implementation in practice.
