Charles Douthwaite
Highly Specialist Speech and Language Therapist & Director
Charles qualified as a Speech and Language Therapist in 2017 with a BSc (Hons) degree from the University of St. Mark and St. John. After qualifying, he spent the first two years of his career working in the NHS, managing adult caseloads in both community and acute settings. He then moved into the private sector, taking a role with Elysium Healthcare at Adderley Green Care Centre in Stoke-on-Trent. Whilst he was there, he furthered his experience in providing assessment, treatment and management advice for the communication and swallowing needs of adults with acute brain injuries. He also developed his skills supporting clients presenting in prolonged disorders of consciousness (PDOC), as well as clients with long-term tracheostomies. Additionally, Charles was responsible for regularly delivering communication and dysphagia awareness training to other professionals.
Charles left Elysium at the beginning of 2023, having completed his core tracheostomy competencies and the Sensory Modality Assessment and Rehabilitation Technique (SMART) accreditation. He has since become the co-owner of a family-run independent practice in Excel SLT.
His role includes working with local NHS trusts, private healthcare providers and clients referred by Case Managers, Solicitors and Insurers, within the personal injury and medical negligence sectors. He continues to provide assessment, treatment and management advice for the communication and swallowing needs of clients, as well as training for family members and care providers.
Charles is driven by his desire to achieve results with clients, guiding them towards positive, measurable outcomes, with the empowered support of their caregivers.
