“Congratulations on completing a huge piece of work! You are rightly very proud of the animations – they really are terrific and they greatly enhance the information provided.”

“The animations and graphics are truly second to none, this will be such a significant contribution in making people better understand this complex area. It is a huge undertaking and I admire you so much for getting this done to the level and quality that you have. I am really blown away by it! Congratulations!”

“I have never been more impressed by an educational tool. It is simply outstanding. I spent all morning being amazed and educated. I think of how much time it would save hospitals in training new clinicians. The education on "normal" laryngectomy swallowing is wonderful. Words really fail me when it comes to the animation - it couldn't be more beautiful. Congratulations on such a tremendous accomplishment!”

"This laryngectomy e-learning module is an easily accessible training programme, for health care professionals involved in the rehabilitation of this complex patient group. The programme provides clear learning aims which are comprehensively evaluated by a knowledge quiz at the end of the module. I particularly enjoyed the graphics, containing a balance between 3D animations, video clips and easy to follow diagrams. This is a great way to learn about post-laryngectomy voice and swallowing and I would whole heartedly recommend it to those starting out in the field."
Dr Jo Patterson

“I wish to personally congratulate the authors, Edels, Coffey and Clarke, on their production of this outstanding educational effort on the topic of laryngectomy and post-laryngectomy care. The module is thorough and clear, without being overwhelming. It addresses basic issues related to the anatomy of the procedure as well as very specific issues, such as procedures to prevent voice-limiting spasm. This will be an important resource for health care professionals as well as patients and families well into the future. A truly grand effort.”
