UK survey reveals that two thirds of patients aren’t being checked for malnutrition
Patients Association survey reveals a lack of malnutrition screening
Date: 26 August 2011
The malnutrition survey undertaken by the Patients Association, covered 5,000 patients in England, Wales and Scotland and revealed that two out of three patients were not being checked for signs of malnutrition. Care homes and hospitals should be following National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) screening guidelines for malnutrition, but the study revealed that is not happening as often as it should.
