I'm looking for best practice from Acute Speech Therapists and Dietitians 👀

How does your organisation communicate patient nutrition status at the bedside? Paper sheets? Whiteboard? Magnets? Digital?

A colleague & I just facilitated a round table discussion on Eating & Drinking with Acknowledged Risks at the Thames Valley Geriatric Medicine Registrars' monthly teaching day. Absolutely buzzing - what a great group of people. Openness to debate, shared problem solving, and a true MDT spirit 💙
