Summary

Nurses at Royal Derby Hospital, UK have been trained to use a comprehensive protocol based dysphagia assessment (Dysphagia Trained Nurse Assessment (DTNAx)) to assess all acute stroke patients on admission. This study aims to validate the tool by comparing it to the gold standard assessment - Videofluoroscopy and usual assessment by a Speech and Language Therapist. Inter-rater and intra-rater reliability will also be tested by comparing the assessment results of two different nurses or the same nurse.
