Speech Pathology - Swallowing & Airway Management

 

Our Speech Pathologist specialises in the assessment and management of swallowing (dysphagia) and upper airway disorders (chronic cough). Her work at FMC involves working within an outpatient multidisciplinary Respiratory clinic with a high frequency of patients with upper airways presentations such as chronic cough, Inducible Laryngeal Obstruction (ILO) and voice changes

Key areas of expertise:

  • Swallowing assessments and therapy (dysphagia)

  • Management of upper airway disorders (e.g. chronic cough, vocal cord dysfunction)

  • Education and training for patients, families, and staff

Our goal is to help patients regain safe swallowing and communication abilities, improve quality of life, and support safe airway function through personalised, evidence-based care.
