Thank you for your support last week. Check out our weekly Tip of the Week on a Monday, Follow Thirsty Thursday from May to July and check out our Mealtime Matter daily tips throughout October.

Mocktails Thursday for our patients last Thursday 19th 🍹🍓 E3 talking about the importance of hydration and how else you can get your fluid intake other than drinks. Went down well with our patients. (*consent given for photos*) #NMGH #E3patients #nutritionandhydrationweek

Fruity Friday on E3 - Were all a little bananas on here.... With a variety of fruit to offer E3 patients to create their own fruit salads. The fruit was a hit! #fruityfriday #nutritionandhydration #fruitsalads #nmgh #e3

Celebrating Fruity Friday with fruit bags and fruit smoothies to finish off @NHWeek finishing the week fruity 🍓🍎🍊🍌@CBreen8214 @AkweiChrissy @MFT_PatientExp @eyetower

Boosting hydration with Jelly drops on AMU. Each of these tasty pots provides patients with 50 mls of water. These are fantastic for our patients who may not recognise that they are thirsty or may forget to drink. #hydrationiskey @NHWeek @mynameisAndyJ @JellyDrops @eyetower

Pineapple and banana made an appearance again today, this time giving out @JellyDrops_ crosswords and word search puzzles… keeping our patients hydrated, stimulated and smiling 😊. It’s a yes from patients for the @JellyDrops_ @NHWeek @eyetower @MFTnhs @mynameisAndyJ

On behalf of the Christians of the #MiddleEast, and of all women and men of good will, I appeal to those responsible for this conflict: cease fire! May paths of dialogue be reopened! Violence can never lead to the justice, stability and peace for which the peoples are waiting.
