There will be opportunities to gain skills in organising and creating training, developing supervision skills, and opportunities to gain experience with instrumental swallowing assessment. Some cross site working with our sister hospital (Royal Shrewsbury Hospital) may be required and provides an opportunity to learn from our wider acute inpatient team."
