A must-visit event for caterers in the healthcare sector.
This essential workshop is designed for healthcare sector caterers seeking to enhance their skillset in preparing dysphagia-friendly meals.
We’ve teamed up with Gary Brailsford of Dining with Dignity for this opportunity to explore innovative and straightforward approaches to crafting meals that are both nutritious and enjoyable for individuals with dysphagia.
Gary will guide you through the key aspects of meal preparation, cooking, and presentation, ensuring that your meals are suitable for residents with dysphagia.
The workshop will conclude with a hands-on session where participants can apply what they've learned in a practical setting, focusing on the delivery of dysphagia meals.

"I recently had the pleasure of attending a Dysphagia Workshop at Birchall Foodservice. The training was informative and really well-organised! Gary, the trainer, was a very engaging speaker and made the day both fun and educational."
Turfcote Care & Nursing Home, Rossendale
"The Dysphagia Workshop was very good. The fact that it was run by a professional chef made a massive difference for me. I have worked in food all my working life, healthcare is new to me, so the terminology and demonstrations made sense and put things into perspective for me.”
Worthington Lake Care Home, Wigan
“The BIG Event was a great experience. It was really nice to see and meet the suppliers and, of course, the people who run Birchall Foodservice!! I recommend attending this show.”
