Swallowers disorders are poorly understood with rehabilitation of impaired swallowing even less well developed. This leads to clinical services, worldwide, with a foundation of best practice that is often inaccurate, with rehabilitation that is ineffective, inefficient. Researchers and clinicians at the Rose Centre are all committed to redefining 鈥榖est practice鈥 for swallowing impairment by expanding knowledge of this often misunderstood disorder. Our goal is to help those with a swallowing disorder recover swallowing function or improve sufficiently to gain the best possible quality of life. We are also firm believers in 'patient researchers', encouraging our patients to take an active role in the development of rehabilitation strategies for themselves and future patients.
