Thank you for a fantastic #UKMAW2025!

It's been a whirlwind but we're grateful for all the support from across the UK. Remember that malnutrition is a challenge all year-round and it's crucial that you feel confident to identify, screen and source help for those in need.

Talking about weight-loss can be intimidating, both for the person who has lost weight and a loved one or carer who may have noticed. But spotting the signs early is critical to implementing effective interventions.

Can this graphic help you kick-start necessary conversations?

It's estimated that of the 3 million people in the UK at risk of malnutrition, 93% are in community settings. GPs have a key role to play in identifying and supporting those who may otherwise go without help.

Malnutrition risk is highest among older people, those living in poverty, and people who are in or have recently been in hospital. Many factors contribute to malnutrition, making it a complex issue.
