People with #dysphagia can require modified texture foods and/or thickened liquids to reduce the risk of food/fluids going into the lungs. This can increase the risk of malnutrition without dietetic intervention.
Our Senior Health Dietitian’s have been eating puree meals today, to understand how people with #dysphagia feel as well as to taste test our new #IDDSI dysphagia meal range. They're also raising money for charity too! justgiving.com/fundraising/te…
