ALT picture with the screenshot of the front page of the information sheet for professionals "Managing dysphagia in motor neurone disease", slightly overlapped with a screenshot of another page of the same information sheet. Above, a quote from one of the professionals who reviewed the information sheet, says: “The content guides clinicians through the assessment and management of swallowing difficulties in a practical and supportive manner. The resource would appeal to all levels of knowledge and experience, from the SLT student and the newly qualified therapist to the more experienced ones.”
