Did you know that it is Feeding Tube Awareness Week? Let's continue to raise awareness to reduce the stigmas associated with #tubefeeding. There is a variety of reasons children and adults require tube feeding, one of them being #dysphagia.

Cumulative fluid balances are a medical joke, right? Perpetually amazed at clinical gems like "patient is 8 litres positive so need furosemide" when patient has pyrexia, a large BSA, diarrhoea & high drain output along with rising Na/Cl/urea =intravascularly dry as a dry thing 😐

Did you know that Dietitians provide rehabilitation to people who have been unwell such as after an operation or having a stroke? Their support can provide symptom relief, reduce risks of further illness and prevent admissions to hospital #DietitiansDoPrevention #DietitiansWeek

Cut down on foods and drinks high in sugar. One way to doing this is to swap sugary drinks for no sugar alternatives, including water and lower fat milks. Visit @Change4Life for some easy drink swaps and helpful tips. https://t.co/ppJUzYJHW6 @worcscc @WorcsHealthCare #sugartax

Latest National Diet and Nutrition Survey shows 91% of women aged 16-49 had a low red blood cell folate level which carries an elevated risk of Neural Tube Defects. Our current approach isn't working, we want government to act https://t.co/E3fJOixCWN #FolicAcidFortification

“It’s not a very exciting thing to say – but a good diet is not coconut oil, the Atkins diet or the paleo diet. A good diet is eating a wide range of fruit and veg, whole grain cereals and healthy fats”... says me! See article by @BawdenTom in @theipaper https://t.co/mGENLZEpWm

If you don’t have coeliac disease, avoiding #gluten isn’t healthy. A gluten free #diet can e.g. predispose to #diabetes in the long term https://t.co/apA6VgFMtG

A dietitian in every GP practice would support all patients, those wishing to follow a low-carb diet & the many who want to find other ways too. Support so they all can find a healthy and enjoyable way to eat https://t.co/E08veiO8wl
