We’re very grateful to our Safe Swallowing Education participants for taking the time to write a testimonial.

 

"I have finished the course Thanks. It’s very good and sticks to point - that’s all we need to know in aged care."  - Karen B.

---------------------------


"I have found the course to be very good and very interesting. It is very useful to have this certificate especially in the industry of aged care. I recommend the swallowing course to everyone." 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thank you - Deb S 

---------------------------


“I really didn’t realise how swallowing can be such a big challenge when ageing, the online course really educated me and the information was instantly significant as I started working with a client with swallowing issues…


I feel I understand what’s going on and how I can support her and how important it is to monitor and document changes. 

I’ve also had discussions with friends with elderly parents that are having swallowing issues and was able to give them some good information and help them understand what’s going on. 


If working in the aged care industry, I think this course is really important and I’m glad I’ve done it. “    - Natasha K.

There are limitless benefits to the rapidly increasing use of technology across all ages. Research into high usage suggests social isolation can be an unwanted ‘side effect’.

I read an interesting article a short while ago by Nick Burnett MD Team Teach Australia & New Zealand about minimising restrictive practices and reducing risk for all in aged care, but of course this can be implemented more widely.
