Introductory Remarks
Dear friends in the UEP. I would like to introduce you to the Voice Committee. We are a small but enthusiastic group of like-minded phoniatricians and clinical scientists with a shared interest in the improvement of our patients' voice-related needs, as well as the science underpinning voice.
Our Plan
To populate our field with information or materials undertaken by the group as a whole or as individuals, through our universities or privately. This first offering is the Voice Committee report on its recent activities as submitted to the recent UEP AGM. Subsequently, we will submit more focused materials.
