▶️ NEW: (16/05/24) from The Patients Association: "Supporting the NHS to provide meal and snack time resources." The Patients Association: "Through our project work with NHS England, patients and carers have identified several areas where NHS resources supporting meal and snack times in hospital could be strengthened or improved through minor amendments. "Participants in a focus group held last month said NHS England's existing written resources for patients and staff were clear and helpful, but felt some changes and additional information on the online portal, where the resources are accessed, could make them even better. "Why patients may need help: One key recommendation was to be clearer in describing the reasons why a patient may need help during meal and snack times. The group suggested aligning the staff and patient resource by highlighting the need for staff help in ordering meals and snacks. "The report notes the importance of the mealtime coordinator role and suggested mentioning it in the resource for patients, not just in the staff resource. Participants also raised concerns about the lack of clarity about whether it was ok to bring food in from outside for patients. The group recommended written resources have guidance on this issue. "The significance of mealtimes as special occasions, especially in hospital settings, was also mentioned. The suggestion was that the resources highlight this more prominently, particularly on celebratory days, as it could aid in a patient's recovery process. "Snacks for visitors: Participants also suggested the resources provide guidance on the availability of snacks and meals for family and friends who spend extended periods in the hospital supporting their loved ones. "Lastly, concerns were raised about how the resources would be used and how staff and patients would be made aware of them. Suggestions included involving mealtime coordinators, volunteers, using posters and visual aids, staff attentiveness to patients' eating and drinking habits, and incorporating patient feedback mechanisms." #healthcarecateringlive2024 #HCL24 Philip Shelley FIH Tim Radcliffe Andrew Politi #HFM24 #healthcarefacilitiesmanagement
