| Annotation | This toolkit was produced by the BAPEN Quality Group, and will assist commissioners and providers in delivering high quality nutritional care across all health and care settings. It comprises seven tools: assessment of population at risk of malnutrition; assessment of current screening and provision of nutritional care; development of nutritional screening, assessment and care pathways; education and training (knowledge, skills and competencies); service specifications and management structures for nutritional care; quality frameworks; and quality indicators, monitoring and review. It notes that better nutritional care for individuals at risk can result in substantial cost savings to the NHS. (RH). |
