A total of 106 SLTs from the UK completed the survey. Within the questionnaire, clinicians were also asked to identify if their workplace had a tracheostomy competency training programme (CTP) to allow further exploration of the preparation, clinical support and confidence of respondents with (43% of respondents) and without (32% of respondents) a CTP.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:italic>Outcomes &amp; Results:<\/jats:italic>\n                    Most SLTs (71%) were confident managing patients with a tracheostomy. The majority were accessing professional development and receiving expert support, though many identified specific areas where more support and training was needed. Less than half the group felt up to date with the current evidence. Only 35% of clinicians felt they worked in an optimal team for tracheostomy management, and poor recognition of the role of the SLT in managing dysphagia in patients with a tracheostomy was an issue for many clinicians, particularly on more general care wards. SLTs in workplaces with a CTP were found to have received significantly more expert support, on\u2010the\u2010job training, access to evidence\u2010based practice and were significantly more confident in managing ventilator\u2010assisted patients.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:italic>Conclusions &amp; Implications:<\/jats:italic>\n                    SLTs are eager to access further professional development and training; however, such training needs to target specific areas of need. The significant difference in the preparation, support and confidence of SLTs with CTPs in their workplace highlights potential benefits that can be achieved through workplace training and support.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1460-6984.2011.00103.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,2,21]],"date-time":"2012-02-21T11:45:53Z","timestamp":1329824753000},"page":"322-332","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Preparation, clinical support, and confidence of speech\u2013language therapists managing clients with a tracheostomy in the UK"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"47","author":[{"given":"Elizabeth","family":"Ward","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tessa","family":"Morgan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sue","family":"McGowan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ann\u2010Louise","family":"Spurgin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maura","family":"Solley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,2,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1749-4486.2008.01814.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.AACN.0000340724.80280.31"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"14","DOI":"10.1016\/S1441-2772(23)01826-4","article-title":"Outcomes of patients with spinal cord injury before and after introduction of an interdisciplinary tracheostomy team","volume":"11","author":"Cameron T.
