What to expect
The team will design a package of care based on the outcome of detailed assessment and diagnosis. This may include individual treatment aimed at the patient but will also include supporting those in the patient’s communication or eating and drinking environment.
The pathway of care will continue on discharge either in outpatient, intermediate care, rehabilitation units or community settings. It may include ongoing assessment and rehabilitation aimed at enablement and based on the patient’s goals.
The team’s working hours are Monday to Friday, 8am-4pm.
Our Speech and Language Therapy team is accredited by the Royal College of Speech and Language.
The team members are all registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT).
