The use of fiberoptic endoscopy for the assessment of swallowing function was first reported by Langmore et al. (1988). Since then, the American Speech and Hearing Association, Speech Pathology Australia and the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (United Kingdom) have corporated FEES in the scope of speech therapy as published in their joint position paper with their respective ENT bodies. FEES has been actively used in Hong Kong for swallowing assessment. Since 2008, our Department and Institute has regular FEES workshops for speech therapists and doctors in Asia.
The FEES workshop is structured to provide speech therapists and doctors with updates on dysphagia and to promote the use of FEES in the assessment of dysphagia, in rehabilitation planning and as a biofeedback tool. Clinical updates of dysphagia management and intervention methods will also be discussed. The workshops will also provide hands-on opportunities to participants which bridge the theory to practice.
**Advanced FEES is under planning. Attendance at the Basic FEES workshop is a prerequisite for the Advanced FEES workshop**
