A dietician at Ashford and St Peter’s Hospitals has launched a specialist nutrition program for people in care homes.

The BeNCH Project will assess nutritional management to improve knowledge and understanding of elderly malnutrition.

A specialist screening tool will identify patients at risk of malnutrition.

The project hopes to differentiate between weight loss caused by dietary deficiencies and weight loss caused by other reasons.
