Dysphagia screening tool

As part of a Silver Quality Improvement Project (QuiP), all patients admitted to the Bristol Royal Infirmary with a femoral or spinal fracture since November 2022 have started to be screened for dysphagia.

This pilot has been jointly run by Speech & Language Therapy and the ortho-geriatric medical and nursing team. This screening tool aims to identify those who are likely to present with swallowing difficulties, so that earlier identification can lead to better patient care. Data is still being collected and will be shared via the Poster presentation of the Silver Quip in March 2023.
