What we are doing

We have been working in many different ways to help make sure older people are not going hungry in hospital.

Currently:

  • There are over 30 Age Concerns working with their local hospital or NHS trust to improve mealtimes for older people
  • We are working with the Department of Health to ensure the nutrition action plan is implemented effectively
  • We are working with the Healthcare Commission to improve its assessment process of NHS trusts
  • We have partnered with the Royal College of Nursing to develop and distribute resource packs to hospitals to help promote good nutrition
  • We are distributing leaflets to older people their families and carers to help them spot the signs of malnutrition and

  • Local action
