New course: Eating and Drinking with Safety and Dignity

Currently available "In-House" only

Trainers: Clare Jones and Jane Smith

This course is designed to give a basic awareness of people who have difficulties eating and drinking. It is a very practical course which includes theory, lots of interactive taskes, food tasting, case studies and demonstrations.

The course begins with a basic awareness of the normal swallow to lay out the foundation for the day. Signs and symptoms people may show if they have a swallowing difficulty. We will watch a short video to identify potential problems with environments, equipment, food preparation and communication.

Outcomes of the day:

To understand the swallowing process and identify what can 'go wrong'
Recognise the risks to take into consideration when supporting people who have eating and drinking difficulties
Understand how difficulties eating and drinking can affect a persons health
Identify ways to support people with eating and drinking difficulties in a safer way
