A unique, key and decisive specialization experience to boost your professional development and make you a first-class nurse"

Dysphagia is a little known disease, but it considerably worsens the quality of life of people who suffer from it. This difficulty in swallowing, which occurs especially at older ages, can lead to malnutrition or dehydration problems, but also to respiratory problems. 

The people most affected by this pathology are geriatric residents and stroke patients, as well as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's patients. The fact that it significantly affects the elderly suggests that this disease is on the rise, due to the gradual aging of the population.  

On the other hand, voice alterations are a more frequent problem, and also cause secondary problems in people who suffer from them. Especially when dysphonia or voice alterations occur on a constant basis.  

As a result, there is a wide professional demand for specialization in order to acquire the necessary competencies to enable nurses to provide a comprehensive health and clinical response in the patient's best interests. Both nurses and clinicians will benefit from training actions that integrate the vision of clinical nursing and the needs of an educational response that demands nursing also in the school environment, without forgetting the clinical and sanitary environment.  

This postgraduate diploma in Dysphagia and Voice Rehabilitation for Nurses responds to the demand for continued specialization of health and educational agents, and is aimed primarily at nursing professionals. With this training action, the professional will acquire competencies to manage and treat speech therapy disorders in different types of patients.
