The Manchester Post Basic Dysphagia Course offered an intensive and comprehensive exploration of dysphagia management, spanning five days of engaging lectures, practical demonstrations, and group discussions. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the attendees were friendly and inclusive, making it easy to feel at ease even as a participant from a foreign country.
One area for improvement, however, was the availability of gluten-free options during the lunch breaks. As someone with dietary restrictions, I found the choices limited and would have appreciated a greater variety to accommodate these needs.
Overall, the course was an enriching experience both professionally and socially
I would highly recommend attending this course! Jo and Liz are incredibly knowledgeable and are happy to answer any questions. They are also very funny, so keep the course entertaining! I have learnt more about dysphagia on this course than I have learnt at university. They have made me reflect and encourage to question WHY we are doing what we are doing. Also, the food was AMAZING! Each day there was a choice of three lunches (vegetarian, meat, fish) AND three desserts!
I really enjoyed the dysphagia course. it was such a valuable experience. It gave me a deeper understanding of what people with dysphagia go through and how I, as an occupational therapist, can truly help them. The course was practical and easy to follow, and I’m already seeing how much it’s going to help me in my future practice. I feel more confident and prepared to make a difference in the lives of my clients, and I’m so glad I took this step in my professional growth.
Many thanks to Liz and Jo strive for their support and encouragements.

Such a brilliant course. Both Liz and Jo were so enjoyable to listen to and both did an excellent job making sure content was relevant for all client groups. I learnt so much and cannot wait to get going with my dysphagia work. Thank you!
I would thoroughly recommend the Manchester post basic course for those wanting to train in dysphagia. Jo and Liz are very knowledgeable and ensure practitioners are aware of patient lead care, theory, other perspectives and legalities associated. This course felt very comprehensive with additional discussions and guest speakers allowing me to feel more aware of the added layers associated with dysphagia practice. Jo and Liz always took additional time to answer any questions and were very honest in their responses which I found beneficial to develop my perspective. I must say the food, staff and venue were also all fantastic. Thank you. I would definitely recommend.
A highly recommended course to any professional who wishes to have a strong knowledge base in dysphagia! Liz and Jo are amazing and experienced tutors who are ready to ask questions and help as best as they can! Other perspectives were also offered in the form of lectures/talks by different professionals. The handbook provided is a very good resource for studying and for note-keeping for future information. Very good catering and venue as well. Overall a wonderful course!!
Thank you Jo and Liz for a great week! The course definitely succeeded in making me feel equipped to tackle dysphagia and I left feeling informed about what is expected of me in the supervisory period and for the assessment. Jo and Liz were able to inform us of the relevant theory as well as including practical elements to the course which kept it interesting and relevant to my role. Would highly recommend any SLT (or other professional) interested in expanding their knowledge of dysphagia to attend.
Thank you Jo and Liz for a great course! They were excellent presenters and shared their knowledge and expertise without hesitation. Also the handbook was an excellent resource which meant we could listen and take some notes without trying to record it all. There were also external speakers from different disciplines who were also amazing and professional. The lunches each day were excellent! Cheers
