Survey of speech and language therapy provision for people with Parkinson's disease in the United Kingdom: patients' and carers' perspectives

Abstract

Responses suggest that when SLT is available it offers positive support, but respondents felt (re)access when and where SLT is needed could improve, as well as what aspects of swallowing and communication were addressed in assessment and therapy. We reflect on possible recommendations to address the challenges for SLT services in considering organization and content of provision.
