Reminder: Dysphagia Protocol Trial
The Adult Speech and Language Therapy Service are working on developing a care home protocol/checklist for residents who show signs or symptoms of dysphagia. The aim of this is to support care staff with managing dysphagia and when to refer to our service.
|
We are looking for care homes who may be interested in trialling this protocol and working with us on its development and possible other resources to support you.
