Medication intake for people with dysphagia isn't a topic that is discussed much. We're therefore happy that Kathryn joined us for this new episode. As a pharmacist, she has a lot of expertise to share on how to administer medication safely and effectively.
Enjoy listening!

We spoke with @streweek.bsky.social about why so much health research still falls short. Shaun argues that big parts of health research is “bad” & does not bring the needed value to the evidence-base. Tune in to learn how we can conduct “good” research for our patients 🎙️!

Very excited about this new episode where we talk about FEES with Prof. Heather Starmer! We explore the sometimes overlooked aspects of FEES preparation, consider how FEES & VFS can complement each other rather than compete, and discuss common interpretation challenges✨

Do we all mean the same when talking about dysphagia? Surprisingly, there is still no agreed definition 😱

Listen to Prof. Debra Suiter, Prof. Giselle Carnaby & Dr.
Martin Brodsky, who are working to establish a definition of dysphagia.

✨Wishing you all a wonderful holiday✨

I'm delighted to share our study on what people with #Parkinson's disease & family members consider important to measure in #dysphagia interventions.

Key message: penetration/aspiration is really important, but fear of choking may be overlooked in current research studies.
