Description
2-day course: Saturday 30th and Sunday 31st May 2026
Join senior clinicians from Speak and Swallow for two days of hands-on, practical learning and begin your FEES & Functional Laryngoscopy competency.
This workshop, developed in collaboration with Dr Danielle Stone, equips Speech Pathologists to confidently perform SP-led Flexible Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing and Functional Laryngoscopy procedures in a safe and evidence-based manner.
Prior to the 2-day workshop, you’ll be sent a holistic online training to complete to build your knowledge and prepare you for the hands-on component. From there, you’ll be ready to conduct all stages of the instrumental assessment process from setting up for a procedure, completing a protocol, interpreting and describing findings and making a plan of action for your clients.
Level up your clinical skills and complete comprehensive assessments in your clinic. We’ll even share how you can set up your own instrumental assessment service!
