GOLD: Oak House Kitchen Limited & East Sussex Healthcare Trust: Transforming Patient Safety With Specialist, Cost-Effective Dysphagia Management E-Learning And Support 

The collaboration between OHK and ESHT arose from an increase in incidents within the trust related to not following speech and language therapy recommendations for safe swallowing, jeopardising patient safety. In response to a “never” event in 2018 and several near misses, it was discovered that insufficient education and staff awareness were at the root of the problem.

Following an unsuccessful classroom-based training pilot, OHK and ESHT partnered in 2020 to develop an interactive e-learning programme, aligned with the EDS Competency Framework, designed to cater to the diverse training needs of ESHT staff while enhancing patient safety.
