Geriatric Dysphagia: A Practical Toolbox for Clinical Decision-Making is a one-day, hands-on programme designed to strengthen clinical reasoning in the assessment and management of dysphagia in older adults.

The course explores geriatric dysphagia as a complex syndrome, moving beyond isolated findings to a more integrated understanding of swallowing, nutrition, and environment. Through a combination of expert-led sessions, video-based case discussions, and practical tools, participants will gain actionable strategies for everyday clinical practice.

Key topics include environmental influences on swallowing, interpretation of neurogeriatric dysphagia patterns, practical approaches to safer swallowing care, and the role of interventions such as EMST and nutrition management in preventing weight loss.

The day concludes with a summary and key take-home messages to support immediate application in clinical settings.
