My name is Catriona Lysaght, a Speech and Language Therapist, and I am the leader of this course. I work with people with dysphagia every single day, and have provided countless dysphagia training sessions to care staff, nursing staff, and Speech and Language Therapy colleagues. I created Dysphagia Care in response to the need for reliable and comprehensive training in this area, accessible to everyone, and have based the content on all the information and expertise I have gathered ‘in the field’ throughout my career.
The rollout of the IDDSI framework has meant a surge in demand for dysphagia care training. While I am confident in using the new framework, I know that others aren’t. That’s why I have included a full explanation and demonstration of every level of the IDDSI framework in this course, as well as all the other dysphagia care skills needed by nursing and care staff.
