And a few more: •Restore subglottic pressure to restore normal physiology and function as far as possible - enable the cough •Let the child show you what they can do - don’t let compensations impair rehabilitation Any more to add?

Absolutely loved raising awareness of one way tracheostomy valve use in airway clearance and the importance of team working! The SLT/PT combo! Thank you @NippyVentilator for an amazing day of learning and networking! @PassyMuir @RCSLTTracheCEN @bchslt
Final thanks to @sabrena_lee and @Jo_matth_slt for their talks around #onewayspeakingvalves and management of #dysphasia and #aspiration at the @BreasMedical study day in Watford. Really great Q&A after this session! #educationbybreas
