Ep 10: The 8 Principles of Community-Based Dysphagia Care with Chantelle Hutchinson
What does best practice actually look like when there's no easily accessible multi-disciplinary team, no instrumental access, and your client has been living with dysphagia for years?
This solo episode introduces the 8 Principles of Community-Based Dysphagia Care: a framework built from clinical experience, the research of Howells and colleagues, and a frank recognition that the gap between acute and community training is real, and largely unaddressed.
From least-restrictive intervention to shared decision-making to carer involvement, each principle is grounded in what community practice actually demands.
