Julie-Ann Watford
Lead Neonatal Network Speech and Language Therapist
I am a Speech and Language Therapist working clinically at Russells Hall Hospital in Dudley and as one of the Lead Neonatal Speech and Language Therapists for the West Midlands Perinatal Network. I share my Network role with my Speech and Language Therapy colleague Katy Parnell.
In my network role, I am excited to help to develop and expand Allied Health Professional (AHP) support for infants, families and staff in neonatal care.
At a national level I am an active member of the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists, Neonatal Clinical Excellence Network. I have also recently accepted the role of Treasurer for this group.
Outside of work, you will find me walking my dog, going to the gym and watching my daughter play sports.
