💧 Thirsty Thursday #MAW2025 💧
Hydration is vital in preventing malnutrition. Frequent sips and nourishing fluids can support people with their hydration and weight. People with dysphagia are at higher risk of dehydration - Speech and Language Therapists (SLT) can assess and support with this.

#MAW2025 Tuesday: Safe discharge matters! At MKUH we help prevent malnutrition by ensuring patients leave with:
✔️ Food optimisation & fortification leaflets
✔️ Oral nutrition supplement supply/prescription
✔️ Follow-up care arranged (e.g., outpatient appointments)

Over 11M people in England are aged 65+, with 1M+ at risk of malnutrition.
It’s not an inevitable part of ageing — it’s both a cause & consequence of ill health, affecting physical & mental health.
