Do you, or someone you know, experience problems with chewing or swallowing (dysphagia)? If so, can you help us with our new factsheet?

We are developing a new factsheet to help people deal with dysphagia - a common condition after brain injury. It explains what dysphagia is, how normal swallowing works, the signs and symptoms of dysphagia, diagnostic techniques, treatment options and some strategies to overcome the difficulties.

The factsheet is nearly finished, but we need people who have experienced the condition to read it for us, to make sure it is clearly presented and gives an accurate account of dysphagia.

If you'd like to help, please contact our Information Officer, Richard, on 0115 947 1915 or info.officer@headway.org.uk.

Alternatively, send us a private message here on HealthUnlocked.

Thank you.
