Within Swallow Diagnostics Ltd we offer objective swallowing assessment within care homes or private clinic settings. FEES is a procedure to assess swallowing instrumentally. A thin flexible tube with a small camera and light on the end is passed through the nose to help us view the throat (pharynx) and voice box (larynx). With the camera in place we can view important structures for speech and swallow to help us determine any potential signs of swallowing difficulty.

Collectively with my co-founder Brigid Jackson, we have over 35 years of experience working with dysphagia. Our service is based on objective assessment of swallowing rather than traditional hypothesis building. This means we are able to give you more certainty with regards to the nature of any swallow breakdown and risk of aspiration (when fluid/food enters the windpipe). If you have an existing SLT we can work collaboratively to support the diagnostic process.
