Programme Description
This one year part-time course offers qualified speech and language therapists an opportunity to develop specialist skills in all aspects of dysphagia (swallowing disorders) in both adult and paediatric populations. Classes are timetabled to facilitate speech and language therapists in employment and overseas students.
The course comprises core modules on dysphagia incorporating disability issues, counselling, therapy processes, medico-legal issues and ethics. There will be a strong emphasis on evidence-based practice throughout the modules.
Students must undertake to arrange and participate in supervised practical work in dysphagia (with experienced Supervisors to be recognised by the School). Exemptions may be made for students who have already completed a recognised introductory course in dysphagia.
