title: Students, clinicians and university tutors: triangulation of clinical data.
abstract: The relationship between intuitive clinical awareness and scientific knowledge is reciprocal: clinical hunch fuels scientific theory which in turn informs clinical practice. This paper demonstrates how students may have a pivotal role in a data triangulation process by acting as a channel for the flow of information between speech and language clinicians and academic institutions involved in the education and training of speech and language therapists. The results of a preliminary survey of students' and clinicians' views about the usefulness of collaboration around clinical data are used as the basis for generating a model which shows the shared roles and responsibilities of the participants as well as the crucial focus on improved client management.
