Description

The service will aim to reduce malnutrition in Worcestershire through a focus of support to defined patient groups. This will be achieved by identifying those at risk of being malnourished, establishing appropriate care plans, education of patients, carers and health professionals and maintaining on-going support where appropriate. Direct support and expertise from a dietitian is to be available where this is required for particular identified patients with complex nutritional requirements including patients on PEG feeds.
