About this webinar:
Join Better Rehab for an engaging, evidence-informed session exploring the role of thickened fluids in dysphagia management and what current research means for community-based clinical practice. Created for speech pathologists who want to keep learning and strengthen their clinical reasoning, this session will examine how swallowing safety can be balanced with hydration, quality of life and meaningful participation.
Together, we’ll explore practical ways to make collaborative, person-centred decisions that reflect each participant’s goals, preferences and everyday circumstances.
What you’ll take away
- A clearer understanding of the latest evidence on the benefits, limitations and potential risks of thickened fluids.
- Practical perspectives on balancing swallowing safety with hydration, quality of life and long-term participation in community settings.
- A person-centred framework for shared decision-making, least-restrictive recommendations and ongoing review.
- Ideas you can apply when supporting participants, families and their wider support networks.
Whether you’re building your confidence in dysphagia management or looking to challenge familiar clinical habits, you’ll leave with practical insights to support thoughtful, evidence-informed care.
