Stacey is a Speech Pathologist at Caboolture Hospital, and she knows how much oropharyngeal dysphagia can impact a person's quality of life.
Patients experiencing oropharyngeal dysphagia have swallowing difficulties that occur in the mouth and throat - a condition that can be caused by a variety of factors, including neurological disorders, cancer, or surgery.
Now, Caboolture Hospital has started a six-month pilot of an adult outpatient Videofluoroscopic Swallow Study (VFSS) clinic.
The new pilot VFSS clinic uses a contrast X-ray video while patients eat and drink different food and liquid consistencies, allowing clinicians to observe and diagnose swallowing problems.
“We are excited to offer this service to our community, allowing patients to receive care closer to home,” said Stacey.
“The pilot clinic also opens the door for improved access to care for those in places like Kilcoy and Bribie Island.”
The clinic currently accepts referrals from Queensland Health doctors, with plans to also open to GP referrals in the coming months.
