How Can You Help?

Being in hospital can be a difficult time for everyone; family, friends and patients, so it’s important we try to help as much as we can to encourage nutritional support in aid of recovery.

• Encourage the importance of meal times as part of the patient care and treatment
• Communicate with the patient and staff on progress with meals
• Provide additional information on patients meal time routine at home
• Help with eating and drinking if needed while visiting
• Provide likes and dislikes for food and drink to ward staff.
