@AshleighMcKeeRD @setrust So important for people living with dysphagia / swallowing difficulties to have access to good nutrition......... and tasty treats! Great to see this project keep rolling- I've tasted some of the milkshakes and puddings and they are yum!! @lorrainecoulte4 @saltyadult

[Belfast News Letter @News_Letter]

The @setrust dysphagia project allows residents living with dysphagia access to fortified drinks and puddings. This increases energy and protein intake in those at risk of malnutrition, reduces reliance on supplements and empowers care staff to support their residents’ nutrition.

Fantastic opportunity for SLT members of @RCSLT to apply for up to £800 to attend a CPD event. CPD can be prohibitively expensive - particularly in roles where self-funding is the only option.
Here is the solution 😁⬇️⬇️
