If you are looking for paediatric dysphagia training, you need look no further.
Although the Manchester Post Basic Dysphagia Course is not specifically a paediatric dysphagia training course, it is designed to teach core transferable skills across the three client groups (paediatric, adult and adult with learning disabilities (ALD)).
All students attend the same Theoretical Week because much of the core knowledge is common to all three client groups. But after the Theoretical Week, students spend the 6 month Supervisory Period working with the client group (or groups) of their choice. Then, at the end of the 6 month Supervisory Period, students choose which client group they wish to be examined on as there are separate exams for each client group.
Someone who wants to specialize in paediatric dysphagia can compile their log of hours on a paediatric caseload only and submit a paediatric case study and sit the paediatric exams.
So, although the Manchester Post Basic Dysphagia Course itself isn’t specifically a paediatric dysphagia course, students can choose to make it specific to paediatrics.
Each course has some students who specialize in paediatrics, some who specialize in adults and some who specialize in adult with learning disabilities (ALD). There is no need to run separate courses for each client group.
“There are so many areas that are transferable from paeds to my work (adults)” … “Even talks that did not directly relate to my line of work were relevant as they covered core transferable skills” …
