Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The provision of good nutrition has long been recognised as essential for hospital patients and ensuring patients received adequate food used to be a key nursing responsibility. However, changes in the preparation and delivery of hospital food and in the nurse's role. have reduced nurses' control over their patients' diet. This article reports on the progress of the Better Hospital Food programme, which was implemented to improve food services and give back more control over food to nurses.
