IDDSI: History, Implementation, & Practical Experience
Join us for an introductory webinar on the International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI), where attendees will gain an understanding of the history and development of this global standardisation for dysphagia management. Learn about the key milestones in the initiative's creation and the evidence-based testing methods that ensure its accuracy and effectiveness. This is a great opportunity for beginners to understand how IDDSI helps healthcare professionals create safe, consistent diets for people with swallowing difficulties, and how it impacts patient care. Whether you're just starting out or looking to refresh your knowledge, this webinar will provide a clear and accessible overview of IDDSI.
