About me
I have a deep concern and interest in patient safety in reference to dysphagia, which I believe to be under diagnosed and treated, resulting in potential malnutrition, dehydration, social isolation, aspiration pneumonia and death.

Content ArticleIn my 15 years focusing on developing drink thickening solutions for dysphagia patients, the intersection of dysphagia management and patient safety has become increasingly apparent. Dysphagia, or difficulty swallowing, presents not only as a significant health challenge but also as a critical patient safety issue. The condition's underdiagnosis, particularly in vulnerable populations, heightens the risk of severe complications, including choking, aspiration pneumonia, dehydration and the profound fear of choking that can lead to malnutrition.
