Weight loss isn’t a normal part of ageing, and it can sometimes be difficult to notice at first. If you’re concerned about unintentional weight loss in yourself or a loved one, start the conversation today. #UKMAW2024 #AgeWell #TakeAction

Did you know there are two types of dysphagia? Oropharyngeal dysphagia and oesophageal dysphagia can both lead to #malnutrition and #dehydration. Download @MNPathway's guide to dysphagia for healthcare workers, available here: bit.ly/3YA4XnD #UKMAW2024

Indeed @catling_emma, giving consideration to nutritional status is essential when thinking about deconditioning #UKMAW2024 @CTMUHBDietetics

Good timing on ‘call to action friday’, the importance of identifying and preventing hospital acquired malnutrition is key🔑 to preventing deconditioning. @RhianTRD @HywelDdaHB

Dehydration is a common cause of hospital admission and can slow down recovery time. As we age, we start to naturally feel less thirsty so it’s important to keep an eye on how much you’re drinking throughout the day. Use #UKMAW2024 and #ThirstyThursday to spread the word!
