Another fantastic video highlighting a very important subject #endoflife. The Mouth Care Matters website has links to more videos and useful resources which can be downloaded and used in your hospital or edited to suit your care setting. The same message applies to all.

I was recently talking to a man who lost his elderly mother last year, I was telling him about #mouthcarematters and Mouth Care Matters 4 Life and the importance of care providers delivering good oral hygiene to their patients. His eyes welled up.....

Sadly this is not an isolated case, during my time on the wards I attended many patients who had been admitted from care homes with terrible mouths. Many care staff feel unsure how to manage dirty, bleeding or dry mouths over the fear they will make it worse.

@DharineeHansjee @CareQualityComm Its a fantastic resource, we hope that the same can be created for hospitals in the future... @MCM_HEKSS
