Inspiring talk by @MsAnnaLiisaSutt at the #icssoa changing the game considering important patient outcomes in early tracheostomy with one way valve use
The team had a great couple of days last week taking part in Facial Oral Tract Therapy (F.O.T.T.). It was inspiring to learn about this multidisciplinary approach and we can’t wait to apply this to our patients at LHCH after the next stage of training🧠💡

@LHCHFT 12m fixed term. Come & develop acute skills including FEES at our specialist trust with large crit care. As part of our small & friendly therapies dept where VF and stroke skills also used. @NWAHP@CMCCN_ODN@EllieCSLT#sltjobs https://t.co/ywjq2f7TPg
The team knows how eager I’ve been to try this out and to look inside my larynx 😁 ‘Twas a funny feeling but has put a new perspective to my knowledge of our speech and swallowing!
@Connie_SLT We have 'speech, swallow and voice department' embroidered on our uniforms and I think it really helps patients/families understand what we do. Communication and swallowing would be even better!
@HafsaMoollaSLT @annabelkay1 Great preparation! Agree with the other comments. I find it useful to separate the OME notes based on each cranial nerve. Would also include positioning, dentition and maybe a section on outcome. Relevant past medical history too if that doesn't come under history of prob 😊
@DoraGuyatt Definitely have these issues - every surgeon seems to use a different term! Very confusing for staff and patients. Our dietitians have created an 'upper GI menu' for pts and catering. If there's an oropharyngeal dysphagia, I usually run my recommendations past the surgical team.
