This roadmap details the functions, key tasks, and competencies of the role of novice STs (Acute Care ST (I) with 0 years of service; and Acute Care ST (II) with 1 year of service in acute care) working in an acute care environment - to competently assess, diagnose and treat individuals with acute and possibly complex medical issues that impact their communication and/or swallowing functions.

It also contains a non-exhaustive list of training programmes for dysphagia to guide STs in acute care to progress from novice to advanced levels of practice.

The training roadmap is accessible via the MOH Healthcare Professional Portal here - https://www.moh.gov.sg/docs/librariesprovider4/careerandpractise/speech-therapist-in-acute-care.pdf?sfvrsn=76ee303f_1

Below is a survey by SIT students to explore the perspectives and opinions of speech and language therapists (SLTs) on the use of transitional foods in feeding and swallowing management: https://sit.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6V8WVJTzj1DbiIK

This study is the first phase of a larger study looking at innovating transitional foods that are suitable for the local population and context. In management of feeding and swallowing issues (dysphagia), speech and language therapists (SLT) may employ diet and fluid modification listed on the International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI) framework as a strategy. One option is transitional food, defined as, food that starts as one texture but changes with temperature or moisture added (IDDSI, 2019). There is scant information about the understanding and use of transitional foods by SLTs in the local context as compared to other well-studied diet options.

The study aims to examine the perspectives and opinions of current SLTs practising in Singapore regarding the classification and use of transitional foods for dysphagia and feeding management. We hypothesise that practising SLTs do not have a uniform understanding of transitional foods in the local context and may have differing opinions regarding implementation of transitional food use. This potentially leads to them avoiding transitional foods as a recommendation within their clinical practice.

This study will employ a mixed-methods research methodology. 90 AHPC-registered SLTs who have managed clients with feeding or swallowing difficulties in the past 5 years will be recruited to complete an online survey on Qualtrics. Participants will be given the option to leave their contact details (i.e. name, handphone number and email address) if they wish to be informed about a future study involving focus group discussions about transitional foods and if they wish to receive a $10 evoucher as a token of appreciation. Thematic analysis with Quirkos will be carried out for the qualitative data collected. Quantitative data e.g. demographic information and 7-point Likert scale responses will be analysed with Stata to generate descriptive statistics and compare group responses according to SLTs’ workplace settings (e.g. public hospital versus community settings versus private practice).

A cosy group, consisting of 16 participants, attended SALTS’ Speech and language SIG last Friday.

The group bonded over the topic of ‘CVI and communication’. Speech therapists from across several organization spent time learning about CVI, discussing own scopes of practice, and how to shape the subsequent speech and language SIG meetings, under the topic of ‘CVI & Communication’.

Our next meeting will be held towards the end of the year and we hope to discuss some research articles or webinar on the topic!

We welcome anyone interested to join us!

A special thank you is reserved for Connect &Communicate for hosting us at their office!
