Introduction
It is with the greatest pleasure that we announce the UK swallowing research group. This group comprises clinicians and researchers from a wide range of professional disciplines including biomedical engineering, speech and language therapy, radiography, radiology, ENT, gastroenterology, stroke medicine, dietetics, oral health, general medicine and neurology.
The group recognizes the multidisciplinarity of the clinical specialties and basic science that supports developments in the field and hopes to run a biannual conference.
The aims of the group are to:
- Disseminate and debate the latest swallowing research
- Bring researchers together from basic science and clinical practice to share ideas and develop research projects
- Encourage peer review and support for work in progress
- Invite international research leaders to present key note lectures
