Today we ran training again, but will it prevent #Choking deaths of people with #Disability and #Dysphagia?

1. Lack of people to provide necessary supervision of mealtimes where people are at risk of choking (if you can't watch, you cannot respond to rescue); and

2. Not enough detail in what food textures are safe for the person to eat - and difficulty considering ways for Supported Decision Making to be used to arrive at person-centred decisions that also enable prevention of choking death.
