Live webinar: Digitally transforming the Dysphagia patient pathway

Join us on Thursday 9^th July 2020 at 12:30pm for a live webinar to explore the role of technology and innovation in the identification, assessment and management of Dysphagia.

With the recent ‘digital first’ directives and a rapid shift to remote consultations, health and care professionals have found new and innovative ways to engage with citizens and patients during the Covid-19 pandemic. We will be joined by Dr Liz Boaden and Rebekah Davies who will be exploring digital transformation opportunities and best practice within the Dysphagia patient pathway.

During this webinar, you’ll learn:

• Best practice for remote assessments
• How tele-swallowing can benefit people living with dysphagia, their carers and the health service
• The impact of poor dysphagia management
• What resources, products and services are available to support people living with Dysphagia
