At Rowans Living Well Services we are aware it is important to support patients’ nutrition and hydration needs, providing advice and guidance through professional partnerships with our local dietitian teams. We recognize eating and drinking at different phases of illness can be complex and multifaceted and this can result in a great deal of stress for the patient, their family or carers.
We have now set up a monthly session with the local Dietitian team starting on Friday 26th July, this will then continue on the 4th Friday of each month.
The sessions will cover:
• Definitions of Nutrition
• Eating comfortably – what feels right for you.
• Treatment of Poor Appetite and Weight Loss
• Consideration of nutritional screening
• Practical support on how to fortify food and add a little extra protein to foods
• Gut care with ideas to help manage constipation /diarrhea/reflux
There will always be an opportunity to ask questions.
Group held: At the Living Well Centre.
How to book: Please contact the Living Well Centre via telephone on 02392 248011 or email LWC@rowanshospice.co.uk to find out more.
