Speech and Language Therapy for adults

Therapists provide services at Lewisham Hospital for adults with the following:
• Stroke
• Neurological conditions and dementia
• Critical and acute care
• Voice disorders
• Swallowing disorders/dysphagia

The department also runs a weekly Videofluoroscopy Clinic in conjunction with the Radiology department at UHL. Videofluoroscopy imaging allows more detailed assessment of the swallowing mechanism in order to identify impairments and optimise the function of the swallow. In addition, the department jointly runs the Voice Clinic – a multi-disciplinary clinic for the management of voice disorders.
