Our Adult Community Speech and Language Therapy at Mersey Care has a new referral form.
Referrals for dysphagia (eating, drinking and swallowing difficulties) can be made using the referral form and are accepted from GPs, consultants, other health professionals and nursing homes that have been trained by the service.
We provide specialist assessment, advice and support for people who have problems with their speech and language. This includes problems with communication, swallowing, stammering and voice difficulties, working with patients to help manage and minimise the impact these difficulties can have on their day to day lives.
You can find out more about the service on our website https://www.merseycare.nhs.uk/salt-adults
Please use this form to refer into the service. From 1 August, if you do not use the new referral form, your referral may be returned.
Please note: Learning disabilities and Community Mental Health Teams Speech and Language Therapy Services continue to have their own referral form.
