The community dieticians and Food First programme aims to support early intervention nutritional care to a population that can be at risk of malnutrition – particularly those in care homes, the elderly and frail patients.
If you or someone you know is at risk of malnutrition then please contact us to discuss this further.
The clinician will check a “MUST” score: Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool
The clinician will then decide if we need to refer to a dietician.
In the meantime, or if the clinician has directed you to, please read through the documents below which give simple suggestions to help improve nutritional intake to boost calorie and protein intake.
