How can we help you?

Swallowing disorder (dysphagia) is difficulty moving food, drink or saliva safely from the mouth to the stomach. It can lead to food entering the airway, pneumonia, weight loss and dehydration.

Signs to watch for

Coughing or choking during or after eating or drinking
A wet, gurgly voice after swallowing
Food sticking in the throat or collecting in the mouth
Weight loss or repeated chest infections

Our approach

Working alongside the patient's doctor, our speech and language therapists assess swallowing with different textures and provide swallowing exercises, safe swallowing techniques, texture modification and caregiver training.
