Southern Health Undernutrition Project

We are the Nutrition Project team. We are healthcare professionals dedicated to raising the profile of undernutrition and making it everyone's business.

Today is my last full day as the Nutrition Project Lead and I just want to say thank you for your support of this project. We have made a difference to patients at risk of #malnutrition and will continue to do so. @Southern_NHSFT @WessexNutrition

These are really useful!

This is the final week of the Undernutrition Project, it has been really positive. Screening rates have improved, as has staff knowledge around #malnutrition . Progress is being made every day!

[Southern Health Undernutrition Project @SHFTnutrition]

Big day for the project, we’re presenting our business case to get a long term Nutrition Lead post for Southern Health... 🤞🏼 #progress. @Southern_NHSFT

This is a great article highlighting the HUGE issue of #loneliness. It can affect a person's intake and therefore risk of #malnutrition. Why not take the time to visit a lonely older person? You could make a big difference to their life. https://t.co/pKaG1Pj8lO

Usually we only promote #malnutrition related things, but this is too good not to mention. This is a great opportunity to learn more about living with type 1 diabetes and it's FREE! #WednesdayWisdom

A FREE conference for people living with Type 1 diabetes in Hampshire. Eventbrite is open for bookings, get in quick as spaces are limited ...https://t.co/igIVgJzxvi

Our #MondayMotivaton is all about motivating you to do what you can to help those at risk of #malnutrition. Chat to them, eat with them or drink something nourishing with them. It all helps to improve their nutritional intake. Take some time out of your busy lives to help others

[Southern Health Undernutrition Project @SHFTnutrition]

#resultsday is a huge day for everyone who worked hard for their A levels. For those of you going to University to study to become an #AHP we salute you and can't wait to have your help in the not too distant future treating those at risk of #malnutrition

[Southern Health Undernutrition Project @SHFTnutrition]

This is a great piece of work and explains how to manage adult #malnutrition really well. Make sure you check it out so you know what to do next time you have a patient who is at risk of #malnutrition.

[Natalie Hayeem @natalie_hayeem]

Do you know how to manage adult #malnutrition in the community? Please take the time to read our summary, which contains the 'MUST' screening tool @BAPENUK @NNNGUK

So true! #malnutrition is a growing problem. Make sure you are aware of how you can help people who are at risk! #foodfortification #milkshakes #snacks #TuesdayThoughts

[BAPEN UK @BAPENUK]

Unfortunately, #malnutrition can affect people of all ages. Are you in the know?

[Southern Health Undernutrition Project @SHFTnutrition]

These statistics make for very sad reading! We need to act NOW to make a difference! #malnutrition is everyone’s business. Make the effort to talk to an older person who lives alone. That might be the only conversation they have this week 👵🏻👴🏼

[Malnutrition TF @MalnutritionTF]

“Eating wasn’t enjoyable any more...” New research from @BournemouthADRC found that more than one million older people eat alone for three months or longer.

Loneliness and malnutrition often go hand in hand; tackling both is absolutely essential.

As it's #AfternoonTeaWeek why not invite an elderly relative or neighbour to join you for some tasty sandwiches and cakes? Anyone can become at risk of #malnutrition at any time; these small gestures can make all the difference.

[Southern Health Undernutrition Project @SHFTnutrition]

Did you know... Adding 4 tbsp. of skimmed milk powder into 1 pint of milk can add approxiamely 200kcal nd 30g protein! What a simple way to treat #malnutrition with #foodfortification. #Foodfirst

[Southern Health Undernutrition Project @SHFTnutrition]

More #malnutrition training going on today in Alton and Colden Common- does training lead to improved patient care? I think so! Training=increased knowledge= improved care. #TuesdayThoughts #progress @Southern_NHSFT

[Southern Health Undernutrition Project @SHFTnutrition]

The final Nutrition Link training session was completed yesterday; they are all ready to take the lead on #malnutrition related care within their teams. Is it important to have key people within teams to help raise awareness? We will find out... #ThursdayThoughts @Southern_NHSFT

[Southern Health Undernutrition Project @SHFTnutrition]

Increased protein intake combined with exercise could help to reduce a person's risk of #malnutrition. Should we be encouraging those at risk to eat more protein spread throughout the day or with their meals? #TuesdayThought #NationalAvocadoDay @Southern_NHSFT

[Southern Health Undernutrition Project @SHFTnutrition]

Couldn't agree more! #malnutrition

[Kathryn Duff @KathrynDuff2206]

Often referred to as a 'public health epidemic'... never underestimate the effects loneliness can have on nutrition intake ☕️🍰 @BAPENUK @MalnutritionTF @agenicommercial #GetTogether

Malnutrition comes in many forms and can have lots of causes. ALWAYS seek advice from a QUALIFIED professional before embarking on a low #FODMAP diet. https://t.co/1uf0YcIfdx

[British Dietetic Association @BDA_Dietitians]

Are you thinking about going low #FODMAP? Our spokesperson @TheGutHealthDoc talked to @UKWomensHealth about FODMAP #fakenews and why you should always get support from a registered dietitian before following this diet. https://t.co/eUYokwAVBp #WhatDietitiansDo #BDAMedia #IBS

Can't believe this hot weather is still here! Make sure you're staying hydrated and encouraging those who are more vulnerable to drink more fluids.
