I have had the privilege of being trained by Dijana in FEES scoping and interpretation when she was a senior speech pathologist at Royal North Shore Hospital. Her many years of experience in FEES and instrumental assessments across the UK and Australia make Dijana a sought after dysphagia expert in the health care field. She has a plethora of experience training speech pathologists to become better evidence-based dysphagia clinicians, as well as developing FEES services in various health care settings.
