Reading Adult Videofluoroscopic Swallowing Studies (VFSS) Day 2

Day Two: Post-basic training for SLTs working with neurological disorders

Wednesday 24th June 2026 9.00 – 16.45hrs. 

Aimed at delegates who:

• Have a regular, working input into a VFSS clinic in the neurological caseload
• Have an appreciation of radiological swallow presentation in common neurological disorders
• Have a working knowledge and practical application of the aspiration-penetration scale and awareness of clinically utilised residue scales.

Learning Outcomes:

1. To utilise more refined analysis to understand biomechanical changes in neurologically-driven dysphagia
2. Understand use of VFSS to support neurological differential diagnosis.

This day will not directly cover:

• Normal and elderly swallow
• Learning outcomes of day one
• VFSS clinic set-up
• VFSS protocols & reporting
• Referrals into VFSS clinic

General content of both days:

• Direct teaching from experienced SLTs
• Opportunities to observe previously-recorded VFSS images from common & rare neurological populations (both acute and progressive)
• Opportunities to visualise and analyse VFSS using pre-determined rating scales
• Group discussions with supported analysis
• Question and answer sessions
