Some medical conditions may lead to severe and persistent swallowing issues that significantly impact on a person’s health and safety.
For some, the ability to swallow may deteriorate to the point of needing to decide whether or not to consider methods of alternative feeding, such as Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastronomy (PEG) or other, similar options.
Our Be Heard Speech Pathologists are highly experienced in using a collaborative approach to help people reach these very important decisions. We will liaise with others involved in your care, such as your GP, dietitian, and gastroenterologist, in order to best help you implement your decisions.
