The NTSP's Prof Sarah Wallace was recently speaking in Cancun, Mexico at the Sociedad Latinoamericano de Disfagia (SLAD, the Latin American Dysphagia Conference).  Sarah bumped into SLP legend Dr Martin Brodsky, PhD, ScM, CCC-SLP, F-ASHA. Martin is Section Head of Speech-Language Pathology at the Cleveland Clinic, Ohio, and an internationally recognised clinician and researcher in swallowing, voice and airway disorders. His work has a particular focus on the consequences of critical illness, including swallowing problems and laryngeal injury following intubation and mechanical ventilation. Before joining Cleveland Clinic in 2022, Martin spent around 15 years at Johns Hopkins University, where he retains adjunct academic appointments in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine. A Fellow of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, his research brings speech and language pathology firmly into the multidisciplinary critical care environment, exploring how we can better identify, understand and treat airway, voice and swallowing problems in patients recovering from critical illness.  ---------------------------------------- The UK National Tracheostomy Safety Project (NTSP) is committed to providing education, information and resources to improve patient safety and the patient experience for those with tracheostomies and laryngectomies.
