Nick De Mora-Mieszkowski
Senior Lecturer in Speech and Language Therapy
I originally trained and worked as an actor before discovering Speech & Language Therapy in my mid-twenties. I have worked across a number of NHS trusts and health boards in a variety of roles and with patients with a range of conditions including neurological conditions such as brain injury and motor neurone disease as well as patients in critical care and with respiratory issues associated with Covid 19.
Prior to joining Wrexham University, I also worked as an associate lecturer for Cardiff Metropolitan University.
I continue to work part-time for the NHS where I specialise in complex swallowing disorders, run a videoflouroscopy (x-ray swallowing) clinic, and see patients with a range of conditions in both inpatient and community settings.
