Speech-language pathology (SLP) managers must continually ensure staffs are adequately trained to deliver safe and effective VFSS services. However, VFSS training is resource intensive, variable in content and not consistently accessed universally. This study examined managers' perceptions of a new VFSS eLearning programme and its impact on VFSS training and service delivery. The eLearning programme incorporated theoretical and procedural aspects of VFSS, accessed free of charge by speech-language pathologists working in a large public health service in Queensland, Australia. Twenty-two SLP managers participated in semi-structured interviews, which were evaluated using inductive content analysis. Four themes were identified relating to eLearning benefits: (1) design and content facilitated widespread uptake, (2) enhanced training opportunities, (3) increased clinical skill and workforce capacity and (4) benefits and efficiencies for SLP services. A fifth theme described contextual considerations for using the programme. This study contributes information about the benefits of eLearning for delivering consistent, accessible VFSS training, in a resource-efficient manner. Managers perceived the eLearning programme as a valuable resource to supplement practical VFSS training, to ultimately support VFSS service provision. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
