SALT Training

Please be aware that Speech and Language Therapist (SALT) training packages are for nursing home staff only, and are designed to better support nursing home residents. The SALT team also provides full support and guidance, so if you have any questions or any concerns, please do not hesitate to contact your local SALT service: 

Redbridge: 0300 300 1903
Havering: 0300 300 1688
Barking & Dagenham: 0300 300 1771

Following the completion of the Swallowing Matters e-training packages, every staff member is required to complete the "Swallowing Matters e-training Feedback" questionnaire, which can be found here.  Please ensure you fill out your care facility (e.g. name of the ward, nursing home or residential home) and your name, so that we can issue you with a certificate of completion.

*These training packages are hosted here temporarily and are not related to our QI training.
