My patient is aspirating! Will it lead to pneumonia? Current evidence base tells us illness is not inevitable in aspirating clients.

The evidence to support dietary interventions, oral hygiene, postural interventions and other techniques will be discussed to provide the participant with the most up-to-date tools to reduce aspiration-related illnesses in their clients.
