The COVID-19 outbreak is significantly impacting the way we deliver laryngology and voice services. In many services “non-essential” laryngoscopies have discontinued until control of the outbreak is reached and ENTs are slowly being pulled into more critical services. To support clinicians during this time, the Dr Liang Voice Program at the University of Sydney is running a free webinar on possible solutions to help provide ongoing care for our patients during this period.

This webinar will present information on alternative service delivery models for assessment and treatment of voice and laryngeal airway disorders, utilising Telehealth and referencing the SpeechLanguage Pathology First Contact assessment model.

Date: Tuesday, April 14th, 2020

Time: 8:00pm – 9:30pm

Location: Online
