Nutritional care communication tool
Effective communication of individual needs is a vital part of
transition between care home and hospital in order to ensure that
individuals receive appropriate and safe nutritional care, and
assistance. The attached communication tool was developed by a
sub-group of the Improving Nutritional Care Programme. The tool is
being tested in a few wards in NHS Grampian, NHS Greater Glasgow
and Clyde and NHS Lothian and in care homes in these areas. Spread
events are being arranged by the Improving Nutritional Care
Programme to support further testing and spread of this tool.
