Series: Navigating Speech and Language Therapy

This book offers accessible and concise information to enable both student and qualified clinicians to navigate essential eating, drinking and swallowing (EDS) knowledge and equip them to meet relevant clinical competencies.

Arranged alphabetically, the book provides an A to Z of EDS assessment and management in adults, guiding readers through key aspects, from aetiologies to xerostomia and from cranial nerve assessments to videofluoroscopy. This dip in, dip out resource is packed with information of immediate clinical relevance, facilitating synthesis between theory and practice, and encourages readers to view their clients in a holistic, person-centred way. It contains printable resources and concludes with a useful appendix providing worked examples of clinical scenarios.

Divided into 50 tips to enhance practice, this pocket-sized guide is an essential resource for all trainee and newly qualified speech and language therapists, as well as more experienced clinicians moving into the field.
