UKSRG fosters research into normal and abnormal swallowing. Follow us for the most up to date news. Next conference 2028!

I had the pleasure of presenting at the UKSRG conference with one of my PPI parents, Shevonne. We spoke about parents' views and experiences of feeding and swallowing in children with long-term ventilation. Very grateful for the opportunity to share this work together. Thank you @uksrg.bsky.social !

Thought provoking session from our experts in palliative care. Speech therapists have the skill set to support patients at the end of life but we often find ourselves stuck in a rehab model. But what happens when people aren’t getting better?

First of the free paper sessions - congrats to all the presenters you smashed it :) Topics included gEMG in the assessment of dysphagia, quantitative muscle ultrasound as an assessment and phenotyping tool, and implementing free water protocol in stroke unit setting. Lovely range of studies.

It’s wonderful to have Dietetic representation here at #UKSRG26 in the form of Ella Terblanche, exploring the nutritonal challenges for survivors of critical illness. Eating and drinking is shown to be the most reported recovery priority for patients in ITU… 👀
