We walk with you and your loved ones through your health journey as we redesign healthcare with our people and our community.
It is my hope that we do not forget that our purpose is to serve our patients yet at the same time protect ourselves as a healthcare team (both physically and mentally) to continue providing the best care to those we look after.
The first thing I do when I get to work is to check my ward list and plan out the patients whom I need to see, as well as catching up on latest updates on my patients. Thereafter, I proceed to the wards to assess the communication and swallowing function of my patients. I would then provide recommendations to help them communicate more effectively, as well as to eat and drink safely and comfortably. After my rounds, I would discuss with the nurses, doctors, and other allied health professionals on my assessments, recommendations, and plans for the patients to ensure a safe discharge.
One of my favourite parts of my day is to develop holistic and patient-centred plans. This is only possible after we update the patients' families and carers, ensuring that they understand the care plans and address any concerns they may have.
The Speech Therapy team will catch up with each other during the day to ensure that everyone is coping well with the workload and discuss cases (some of them can be complex and it is nice to get feedback from other clinicians). We also share with each other on the happenings in the research world to keep our skills evidence-based and up to date.
Communication and swallowing are essential aspects of our humanity. It allows us to express ourselves and connect with others. When this ability is impaired by an illness, one may face challenges in expressing themselves and maintaining social interactions with friends and family. This will cause the person to feel isolated, frustrated, and deprived of their personhood.
We need food and drinks not only to nourish our bodies, but also our souls as we gather during mealtimes to spend time with our loved ones. When a person's swallowing function changes due to illness, there may be subsequent impacts on nutrition, chest health, and the person's well-being.
As speech therapists, we are here to support people with communication and swallowing difficulties. We work with them to develop a plan that enhances their quality of life, respects their identity, and helps them achieve their goals. We are committed to accompanying them on their journey of recovery.
