Dysphagia Care – Who We Are
Dysphagia Care started out as part of a larger speech therapy practice (The Speech Centre) before becoming a specialist standalone service offering dysphagia care support and swallow assessments to nursing homes in Ireland.
We now offer specialist dysphagia services across Ireland, and have grown year by year to become the primary private dysphagia service provider in the country. We have a team of specialist therapists on hand to quickly assess and manage dysphagia and its risks
Hello! Meet the Founder

Every member of the Dysphagia Care team is passionate about dysphagia. We are all CORU registered, and many of our team are members of the Dysphagia Special Interest group or involved in research alongside our clinical practice. Above everything, we are all committed to providing an expert, efficient, high quality dysphagia care service and swallow assessments to our clients.
