‘What mammy eating?’ IDDSI level 4 purée and level 2fluids from @wiltsfarmfoods Impressed with flavours but not sure I could be on them long term! There is a place for diet modification in dysphagia management but need to weight up risks and benefits#swallowaware2019 @CAVUHB_SLT

We marked #swallowaware2019 by highlighting the psychosocial consequences of dysphagia and the SLT role with this. Dysphagia management is so much more than texture modification @RCSLT @GivingVoiceUK @Bristol_SLTRU @wespeechies @carrie_biddle @WeAHPs @NorthBristolNHS @sltmatters
Swallowing Awareness Day aims to highlight the impact dysphagia (difficulty swallowing, eating and drinking) can have on people's lives. Watch our Speech & Language Therapists ask patients and relatives how the condition has affected them #swallowaware2019 @RCSLT @GivingVoiceUK

30 years ago today Angela Rippon opened BSLTRU! We've moved sites from Frenchay to Southmead since then, but the sign is still in the office! A little celebration in the office and a big celebration at the 1st Annual Underwood Trust talk early next year! eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-under…
