State of the art dysphagia theory and practice from a master clinician
Rosenbek has delivered, as he's done with apraxia, dysarthria and aphasia, a classic text on swallowing disorders seen in Parkinsons and other mov't disorders and dysphagia generally. A perfect mix of theory and practice written with his usual wry flourishes that make it an insightful and enjoyable read. Rosenbek and Langmore seem to be the only 'heavyweights' in the field willing to argue for a more sensible approach to managing the risks of aspiration pneumonia that keeps patient quality of life paramount in the decision-making process. Chapter 4 includes an excellent, practical summation of the usefulness of the 1998 Langmore study on asp pna risk factors. This is a must-read for anyone in the field of dysphagia. ... Read more

Product Description
This is a comprehensive training pack for the use of speech and language therapists in the training of nurses.

The pack has been designed within an internationally recognized competency based framework which is familiar to nurse practitioners. It includes advice on how to set up the training course, handouts for each of the 10 competencies e.g. the normal swallow; causes of dysphagia; signs and symptoms of dysphagia. Course administration documents are included in the pack. Also provided is an evidenced based screening procedure and rationale with a structured testing format which allows assignment of standardized ratings for each competency assessed.

The course allows training at 2 levels. firstly a half day course to increase dysphagia awareness and secondly a one day course with subsequent testing of competencies to enable nurses to categorize ward patients into those who are safe or unsafe to swallow, and make basic recommendations for eating and drinking.SLT students can also be trained using this course. We feel the pack is a timely acquisition for any SLT department given the need for round the clock ward based screening for dysphagia. ... Read more
