title: Safe swallowing?--an opportunity for students working with dysphagic clients.
abstract: The challenges of providing student speech and language therapists (SLTs) with clinical experience in acute hospital settings are outlined. An innovative model of student clinical placement will be described which takes advantage of the recent change in policy by the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT) in respect of student involvement in work with dysphagic clients.
