With support from Macmillan and Sussex Cancer Network, the South East Coast Laryngectomy groups "Yakity Yak" and "Necks Best" have produced a video about communication, after total laryngectomy (surgical removal of the larynx). This video highlights good communication skills and can be used in training for anyone working with the public. You can view the video on You Tube and provide feedback here.
