When it comes to preparing safe, nutritious, and appealing meals for patients and loved ones with swallowing difficulties, questions are inevitable. From IDDSI testing to recipe challenges, healthcare and foodservice professionals are constantly navigating how best to bring the International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI) to life.
Our upcoming webinar, Inside IDDSI: Answering Your Questions, brings clarity where you need it most. Based on the most common questions from previous sessions, this evidence-based, interactive hour will tackle real world scenarios, from moist foods to safe bread options, while unpacking the science that informs each IDDSI level. You’ll also hear the latest insights on surveyor citation trends and US IDDSI Reference Group best practices to strengthen your interdisciplinary approach to care.
