Cygnet Bostall House celebrate Swallowing Awareness Day

Yesterday the team at Cygnet Bostall House marked Swallowing Awareness Day 2024 with an educational event led by Speech and Language Therapist Kim Lan Luc who shared some Dysphagia awareness goody bags. Alongside some delicious treats, everyone learnt some fun facts about swallowing difficulties. For example, did you know that swallowing uses 26 different muscles?

Staff were also invited to think about how different consistencies of food might be easier or more difficult for people to chew and swallow. A great and engaging way to encourage colleagues to learn more about a very important issue.
