Students commented:
"Really great well-rounded course, I feel much more confident in all areas of dysphagia and feel ready to start the experiential learning period."
"The course had a good mixture of theoretical and practical components which helped to consolidate information. The presenters were always ready to further explain and answer questions."
"Such a good course with knowledge I would not get the time to learn in detail working clinically."
"It was easy to break down, information was drilled into us, and the progress of the week made sense with our learning throughout the week."
"My understanding and confidence has grown; it would have taken me so much longer to do it in-house."
The course also attracts clinicians from a wide range of NHS trusts and services across the UK, providing valuable networking opportunities and the chance to learn alongside peers facing similar clinical challenges. Previous attendees highlighted the benefits of group work, discussion, shared problem-solving and multidisciplinary perspectives throughout the week.
