ENThe Institute of Human Communicative Research (IHCR) and the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, conducted a very successful seminar on 24th February, 2019 on dysphagia management, which is probably the major but potentially risky role that a speech therapist has in the residential care homes for the elderly (RCHE). Assessing and managing dysphagia is challenging because of the various limitations. The useful information, practical tips and case discussion in this seminar specifically enhanced participants’ knowledge in dysphagia management and in particular, the tools and skills a speech therapist needs to strive in a RCHE environment. Due to overwhelming response, the seminar was re-run on 24th March, 2019. The two identical seminars attracted over 110 speech therapists to attend.
