Each month Mediplacements would like to recognise one of our locums for their personal achievement and commitment to the Healthcare service!

Name: Leonie Kenny

Profession: Speech and Language Therapist

Where are you from? Dublin

Current Locum position? SLT - Early Years Team

What do you enjoy about being a locum?
I enjoy the variety which locum work brings - getting experience working with children of different ages and different needs and meeting new SLT/colleagues. There’s never a moment to get bored as I have the freedom to move around and work within different teams.

Most memorable moment within your career?
Getting to carry out ‘Hanen-More than words’ programme with parents of children with autism – the parents were so appreciative and found the programme very useful!

If you were stranded on a desert island what 3 items would you take?

2.) Sharp instrument or tool of some sort
3.) A kindle
