Swallow & Speech Therapy Consultants was built from experience within aged care, community, disability, and hospital settings across Aotearoa.
Over time, it became clear that dysphagia was not being supported as a system, but managed in parts. And that this often led to inequitable outcomes.
What We Believe
Dysphagia is not the exception. It is part of the reality of an ageing population.
And when we normalise this, we can design systems that support people in ways that uphold:
Identity
Dignity
Choice
Connection to kai and culture
Our Approach
We bring together:
Clinical expertise
System design
Workforce education
To create practical, sustainable change within aged care.
