I’m completing a PhD project called Safe Efficient and Enjoyable Mealtimes (not as easy as it may seem). Enjoyment of meals is so important.

Shop bought red velvet cake with cream frosting and red sprinkles.
We also remember a special birthday in this house today. Birthdays and other celebrations often revolve around food.
What new traditions would we want to create if one of us found eating difficult?
Food is much more than nutrition.

Fajita wrap with rice, chicken and leaves peeking out.
Parents evening today so later tea. Fajitas are popular in this house as everyone can have different fillings while we eat the same meal.
Even more flexibility could be needed if one of us had #Dysphagia

A fruit snack.
People with dysphagia can who also sometimes have difficulties using their hands to prepare food or bring it to their mouth. Would a carer prefer an easy peeler too but what if I fancied a more tricky to peel orange?

A poke bowl of cous cous, humous, red peppers, lettuce, tomatoes, veggie sausages, roast root vegetables and more.
A mixed bowl of food for lunch. I love eating varied flavours and textures but if I had chewing difficulties mixed textures could cause problems

A glass of water on a desk by a PC screen. Various other items on the desk including mug of pens, ladybird painted stone, stuffed toy mouse.
A glass of water to get me through my PhD supervision session.
Sometimes people are provided thickened drinks when they have swallowing difficulties. I have tried thickeners but don’t like the taste of thickened water. I would need an alternate option.

Swallowing Awareness Day is a time to raise awareness of how SLTs help people living with eating, drinking and swallowing difficulties. It's an essential part of most people’s day and often taken for granted, but for some people it's not that easy.

Two mugs with tea brewing in them next to a kettle.
Two of us are working from home today. Making a cuppa for each other is one way we keep our voices hydrated for meetings.
If one of us had swallowing difficulties we’d need to think about hydration even more.

Porridge in a bowl scattered with seeds on a spotty tablecloth. Diluted glass of fruit juice alongside.
Today as most days starts with porridge, fruit and seeds. Many of us like routine.
If I had eating difficulties that meant I had to change my breakfast would my start to the day feel the same?
