The Swallow Clinic at British Home
Specialist Support for Swallowing Difficulties (Dysphagia)
British Home is proud to offer specialist swallowing assessment and rehabilitation through The Swallow Clinic, supporting individuals living with dysphagia (swallowing difficulties) following neurological injury or illness.
Using a multidisciplinary approach, the clinic combines expert Speech and Language Therapy with Pharyngeal Electrical Stimulation (PES) technology through the clinically proven Phagenyx® system. This innovative, non-invasive treatment is designed to stimulate and retrain the muscles involved in swallowing, helping individuals improve safety, nutrition, communication, and quality of life.
