We have had a few recent changes at IDDSI:
We warmly welcome
Alen Dominguez on board as our new Marketing and Communications consultant. We would like to also extend our deep gratitude to
Kevin Ly, for his previous work and support for IDDSI.
We would also like to extend a big thank you to our past Board Member
Sonke Stanchus from Germany. Sonke was instrumental in the first IDDSI pilot project in Kempen, Germany and worked diligently to implement IDDSI into clinical practice. Details can be found
here.
We would like to warmly welcome
Dr. Jan Vanderwegen
from Belgium as our newest IDDSI board member. Dr. Vanderwegen is an ENT and rehabilitation-physician, working at the University Hospital Saint-Pieter, Brussels, Belgium as well as a Professor at the Thomas More University of Applied Sciences, Antwerp, Belgium. He is the president of the Belgian Society of Swallowing Disorders (BSSD) and a member of DRS, ESSD and IDDSI. Dr. Vanderwegen is also part of the Belgian-Dutch taskforce on translating the IDDSI to a cross-cultural Flemish/Dutch version.
