Course Overview
Day One: Introduction to Neurological Disorders
Wednesday 8th April 2026 9.00 – 16.45hrs.
Aimed at delegates who:
- Routinely work with an adult neurology caseload
- Have a sound understanding of normal adult and elderly swallow physiology on radiological imaging
- Are routinely participating in VFSS clinics and/or referring into clinics
Learning Outcomes:
- To understand the impact of common neurological deficits on radiological presentation of swallow pathophysiology
- To appreciate how VFSS may be utilised with an adult neurological dysphagia pathway
- To understand differences between radiological symptoms (aspiration, penetration, residues) versus changes in pathophysiology; and
- To be familiar with scales to quantify changes in pathophysiology and radiological symptoms
This day will not directly cover:
- Normal and elderly swallow
- VFSS clinic set-up
- Referrals into VFSS clinic
- VFSS protocols & reporting
- Dysphagia therapy
- Dysphagia management
- From:
- Wed 08 Apr 2026
- To:
- Wed 08 Apr 2026
- Time:
- 09:00 am - 16:45 pm
