Saltroad provides private access to NHS speech and language therapists, matching families with specialists tailored to each child's clinical needs and aiming to eliminate waiting lists. The service targets a large unmet need—about one in five children in the UK, or roughly two million, require support with speech, language and communication. Saltroad operates a network of over 1,000 therapists across the UK and positions its offering as lower-cost than traditional private therapy while maintaining 1:1 care. The company recently acquired Ogma, an AI documentation platform, to convert therapy session output into structured, clinically useful notes that cut after-hours admin and standardise record quality. Saltroad plans to embed AI tooling across its workforce to increase therapist capacity without compromising clinical quality or wellbeing. Its stated future plan is to build an AI-enabled SLT workforce that combines an associate model with purpose-built tools to free therapists to spend more time in therapy.
