Rosemary Parker charts the evolution of the Paediatric Combined Feeding Clinic in Torbay, Devon over the last 12 years. A changing caseload, communication problems between disciplines and difficulty getting the right advice at the right time from the right professional to families meant a more holistic approach was required. An audit in 2002 led to the introduction of a paediatric videofluoroscopy service and raised awareness among other professionals. Rosemary hopes a recent parental questionnaire will lead to further improvements in service provision.
