UK International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI) - Implementation Survey

Welcome to the UK IDDSI Implementation Survey

Background
The UK IDDSI Reference Group (UKIRG) was formed in January 2021 under the guidance of the IDDSI Global Board. 50 volunteers are working to support implementation of the IDDSI Framework in the UK over the next one to two years. As part of this work, the UKIRG are sending out this survey to find out about current practice in the use of IDDSI in the UK.

Purpose of the Survey
The UKIRG wants to seek information about current practice in the UK. The results of this survey will be used to develop resources and actions to support IDDSI implementation specifically in the UK.

Who is the survey for?

We are sending the survey to a broad range of stakeholders including Speech and Language Therapists, Registered Dietitians, Chefs, Catering Service Staff, Nurses, Managers and Senior Leadership Teams. This list is not exhaustive and we encourage participants to send the link on to colleagues across different services.

This survey will take approximately 10 - 15 minutes to complete.

The survey will close on 30th September 2021.

Thank you for participating. All responses will remain anonymous.
