Crynodeb
The post holder will be the Clinical Lead Speech and Language Therapist (SLT) for patients with upper airway disorders due to severe asthma. They will work as part of the Severe Asthma multidisciplinary team (MDT). As this is a new post, this will include developing the Upper Airway SLT role within the Severe Asthma service, alongside Respiratory Consultants, Clinical Nurse Specialists, Physiotherapists, and ENT. The post holder(s) is responsible for providing highly specialist assessment, differential diagnosis and therapeutic intervention for people with a range of upper airway, communication and swallowing disorders arising from severe asthma. This includes chronic cough, complex breathlessness, and Inducible Laryngeal Obstruction (ILO). They will have a specialist advisory role for the Trust in this specialty area, giving service-wide second and expert opinions, training others and supporting students. Some aspects of care may require working outside of the normal scope of practice of SLT e.g. completing clinical observations, using respiratory assessment tool etc. As this is a newly funded post, there will be a focus on service development and monitoring including collection and analysis of data and outcome measures. This will be vital to ensuring the success of the post and the development of the service. The post holder will also look to develop the role of nasendoscopy within the severe asthma service, with support from the wider SLT team. The post holder(s) will report to the Principal Speech & Language Therapist for Head & Neck Oncology and Surgical Voice Restoration (SVR) and work closely with the Voice Lead SLT. The post-holder is responsible for their own workload within the designated clinical area on a day-to-day basis. Caseloads will be flexible and at times of Trust critical incident may involve the provision of service to other areas of the Trust if caseload pressures demand.
