The Hydration Toolkit for Hospitals and Healthcare was launched in September as a resource within the Royal College of Nursing Nutrition Now campaign – for nurses, healthcare workers, caterers and other service providers.
This toolkit has been developed to help protect the well-being and safety of patients by encouraging hydration best practice in the hospital environment. It provides practical advice on how to minimise the risk and potential harm that poor hydration can cause, and offers solutions to improving the provision of water to patients in hospitals.
