@slodrinks.bsky.socialA new UK clinical nutrition report flags malnutrition as still overlooked and ONS prescribing as shifting fast. Worth adding one more line to that list: an ONS drink nobody can safely finish delivers zero nutrition, whatever the label says.
@jamespsihoyos.bsky.socialI read a very insightful paper by Shi Yin Chee that made me reflect on the importance of culture and person centred care when managing clients with dysphagia 🍽️ 🥣 😋

@slodrinks.bsky.socialKept in different appointments. They're not in different lives.
World Alzheimer's Day fell this week, and the professional conversation around it mostly split the same way it always does: communication support in one column, swallowing support in another.
@slodrinks.bsky.socialIDDSI gave the world a shared language for texture - Level 2 means the same thing in Manchester as it does in Ontario. That's a genuine achievement.
But a shared standard isn't the same as a shared solution.
Not does it meet the standard? — but does the person want to drink it?

@slodrinks.bsky.socialTea that still tastes like tea☕
Ask anyone who's had to give up tea what they miss. It's rarely the caffeine. It's the ritual — kettle on, bag in, milk, the five minutes that punctuate a day🥰

@slodrinks.bsky.socialA postcode decides who gets their voice back. And who gets to swallow safely.
MPs debated an amendment to the Health Bill last week, calling for a proper strategy on speech and language therapy waiting times and access.

@slodrinks.bsky.socialThe tidiest sign of a bad drink. 🥛 An empty glass looks like nothing happened.
That empty glass says it all.

@slodrinks.bsky.socialNew Cyprus population survey: 18.3% of adults screen positive for dysphagia symptoms — and one of the two age peaks is 18-25, not just over-65s. Referral pathways built around "old age" alone might be missing people.
