Speech & language therapists (SLTs) are vital in addressing eating, drinking and swallowing (EDS) difficulties. SLTs work with a healthcare team to offer quality care. EDS problems may signal underlying issues, leading to severe health risks affecting individuals & their families
Speech and language therapists help dysphagia patients improve eating, drinking and swallowing through assessments and personalised therapy

🚨SO important👇 Know the signs; know what to do #ActFAST Call 999 @BlackCountryICS @NHSinBlkCountry @dudleystroke @TheStrokeAssoc #stroke
The Dudley Group (@DudleyGroupNHS) profile pictureThe Dudley Group@DudleyGroupNHS9 Nov 2024
A #stroke strikes someone every 5 minutes in the UK. The first sign of a stroke might not seem serious: struggling to smile, not being able to raise your arm or slurring when you speak. Even if doesn’t seem like much, at the first sign of a stroke #ActFAST and call 999.
