To achieve this we work holistically, towards patient led goals, providing rehabilitation & intervention to maximise our patient's potential. This requires us to be patient centred & specialists within our field. Using evidence-based practice & investing in our staff, so they have the knowledge, skills & training to provide this. We provide intervention based on clinical need, utilising each other's expertise & our rehabilitation assistants to maximise our intervention.
The team works with adult patients with acquired communication & swallowing difficulties, so being trained in dysphagia assessment & management is a vital aspect of this role, as is experience in rehabilitation. Visits take place in patients' homes, care homes & clinics, so staff need to be able to travel around the borough & work autonomously. Many of the team work part time/ flexibly; there is some degree of remote working.
