Managing and supporting quality-of-life issues in dysphagia: A survey of clinical practice patterns and perspectives in the UK, Ireland and South Africa.

CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: SLTs believe they have an important role to play in supporting QOL issues in dysphagia. However, it is reported that the area is currently under-developed, under-resourced and under-supported. Increased awareness raising of the role of SLT, alongside the development of best-practice guidelines and disease-specific QOL assessment tools, will enhance the quality of care that can be offered in this area.
