In our journal club today @_clare_webster gave us an interesting overview on the topic of frailty. We appraised a systematic review on the association between frailty and dysphagia. SLTs pay a vital role in identifying and managing dysphagia in this complex population @UHP_NHS
Fantastic cardiac PD session this morning ๐ซ. Thanks to our specialist Cardiac Dietitian @RachelGouldin17 and guest speakers Emma Freeman (SLT) and Kayleigh Roberts (PT) talking all things tracheostomies and dysphagia ๐ฃ๏ธ @uhpslt @UHPPhysio @UHP_NHS#Rehab#MDTlearning#CPD
Our final event of @NHWeek and what better way to celebrate than with a Tropical Foam Party on Erme Ward @UHP_NHS . The team have been tasting mocktail foam and chatting about what it might be like to be nil by mouth. @rachgayle1978@RCSLT
Back again and making new friends ๐ถ. Lots of great attempts to find the epiglottis and chats about the impact of dysphagia on nutrition and hydration. @NHWeek@RCSLT@UHP_NHS
Come and play Pin The Epiglottis on the Head and win some chocolate ๐ซ (Thanks to SLTs on Twitter for the fantastic idea we โborrowedโ) @UHP_NHS@RCSLT@NHWeek#SwallowAware2023
#SwallowAware2023, @RCSLT, such a fitting time to get our @BiozoonUK for use with our NBM patients. First taste of chocolate for someone NBM for the past 3 months.
Are you swallow aware? On #SwallowAware2023 day the Acute SLT team are reflecting on the impact of dysphagia. We start every day with a pot of coffee, wondering what our day might be like if we werenโt able to eat and drinkโฆ.
