and responsive NHS.
They wanted the basic things to be right

Blimey, the things they say...
Myth Patients don’t understand about
healthcare
Reality They understand about receiving
healthcare
![Page 29: Better Hospital Food Summits 2001 Presentations. Better Hospital Food Summits 2001 Simon Williams Assistant Director The Patients’ Association](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e045503460f94af0bcc/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Blimey, the things they say...
Myth Patients can only give a personal
view
Reality The personal view is exactly what
we need
![Page 30: Better Hospital Food Summits 2001 Presentations. Better Hospital Food Summits 2001 Simon Williams Assistant Director The Patients’ Association](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e045503460f94af0bcc/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Blimey, the things they say...
Myth They’ll just use it as an excuse to
moan
Reality Constructive complaints help us
examine our assumptions
![Page 31: Better Hospital Food Summits 2001 Presentations. Better Hospital Food Summits 2001 Simon Williams Assistant Director The Patients’ Association](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e045503460f94af0bcc/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Blimey, the things they say...
Myth Patients are difficult and unruly
Reality Patients are only people
![Page 32: Better Hospital Food Summits 2001 Presentations. Better Hospital Food Summits 2001 Simon Williams Assistant Director The Patients’ Association](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e045503460f94af0bcc/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Blimey, the things they say...
Myth We are all potential patients so we
can all give the patients’ view
Reality People inside the system see
things differently from those outside it
![Page 33: Better Hospital Food Summits 2001 Presentations. Better Hospital Food Summits 2001 Simon Williams Assistant Director The Patients’ Association](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e045503460f94af0bcc/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
What Patients Say...
For two days the meals I ordered didn’t arrive
The showers and toilets have not been working for three days on Ward 15
It took that long to find the ward I could’ve died
Tea and coffee looked the same, far too strong. Had to smell it to tell the difference
![Page 34: Better Hospital Food Summits 2001 Presentations. Better Hospital Food Summits 2001 Simon Williams Assistant Director The Patients’ Association](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e045503460f94af0bcc/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
What Patients Say...
Poor quality drinks and the water jugs were dirty
Liquid soap did not work and was not replaced after request
I was cold - the windows wouldn’t shut
The staff’s faces were so miserable that I feel no patient could ask for anything
![Page 35: Better Hospital Food Summits 2001 Presentations. Better Hospital Food Summits 2001 Simon Williams Assistant Director The Patients’ Association](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e045503460f94af0bcc/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Time for a Change
Messages from the consultation:
A service fit for the 21st Century Value the NHS Bring back Matron Patient centred services An environment of Care
![Page 36: Better Hospital Food Summits 2001 Presentations. Better Hospital Food Summits 2001 Simon Williams Assistant Director The Patients’ Association](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e045503460f94af0bcc/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
NHS Plan Chapter 4 (4.17)
“…half of all hospitals will have new ‘ward housekeepers’ in place by 2004 to ensure that the quality, presentation and quantity of meals meets patients’ needs; that patients, particularly elderly people, are able to eat the meals on offer; and that the service patients receive is genuinely round the clock….”
![Page 37: Better Hospital Food Summits 2001 Presentations. Better Hospital Food Summits 2001 Simon Williams Assistant Director The Patients’ Association](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e045503460f94af0bcc/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Getting the Basics Right
patients feel warm, safe and cared for;
patients’ individual needs are met; hospital wards are clean; food is enjoyable (and enjoyed); equipment works.
![Page 38: Better Hospital Food Summits 2001 Presentations. Better Hospital Food Summits 2001 Simon Williams Assistant Director The Patients’ Association](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e045503460f94af0bcc/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Getting the Basics Right
Ward sisters/charge nurses will manage the ward environment
Ward housekeepers must be ward-based and part of the ward team
Ward housekeepers must be multi-skilled and flexible
![Page 39: Better Hospital Food Summits 2001 Presentations. Better Hospital Food Summits 2001 Simon Williams Assistant Director The Patients’ Association](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e045503460f94af0bcc/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Getting the Basics Right
Patients must be involved
There must be commitment from the top
A system of continuous quality improvement must be in place.
Appropriate training and development must be provided

What Patients Say...
I found the staff excellent - friendly, very kind and loving people to have around you
I was happy with my stay but only due to the helpfulness of staff
A hospital to be proud of. Apart from needing an operation I would gladly come again
Like a first class hotel with no bill at the end
![Page 44: Better Hospital Food Summits 2001 Presentations. Better Hospital Food Summits 2001 Simon Williams Assistant Director The Patients’ Association](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e045503460f94af0bcc/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
What Patients Say...
The food was not “home cooking”, but it was attractively presented and no-one need go hungry
The staff were very, very good and could not have done more for everyone
I was greeted on arrival like an old friend
At 86 years old I was very proud to see such good work done

Better Hospital FoodKey Issues
Designed by NHS catering managers, dieticians and nurses - The NHS Menu Group
Sets a national acceptable standard for catering services - on which to build for the future
Raises the profile for catering services - both in the Trust and with patients
Provides a Benchmark for year on year service improvements
Needs to accommodate the full range of patients - one size will not fit all - Specials Groups

Better Hospital FoodMenu Contents
Acceptable framework defined - many Trusts already exceed this and will not need to make great changes
If Trusts already exceed acceptable standard - then stick with it - do not change

food eaten Reducing the incidence of
malnutrition
![Page 56: Better Hospital Food Summits 2001 Presentations. Better Hospital Food Summits 2001 Simon Williams Assistant Director The Patients’ Association](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e045503460f94af0bcc/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
How will this assist dietitians?
Will save time and resources Catering for more individuals Fewer food ordering errors Standard recipes with photographs Nutritional composition known Standardisation of diet coding

Central resource on website
The national recipe database Possibilities for integrated nutrition care
information systems Focus for development of national
consensus on food services Focus for information sharing across the
service A public resource for sound recipes and
ideas Nutritionally analysed and “kite
marked” A reliable and reputable information

This is only the beginning!
Launch of the project is a watershed Implementation presents us all with
challenges Development opportunities ahead include:
Standardisation of tools for nutritional assessment of menus
Further work on standards for diet coding
Further work on specifications for national recipes
Further work with S<’s on texture modifications etc...

Better Hospital Food is not the whole story...
It is vital that Dietitians link in with the multi-disciplinary team
Food service is a team effort
Other initiatives e.g. Essence of Care vital for success
Success = food eaten
![Page 60: Better Hospital Food Summits 2001 Presentations. Better Hospital Food Summits 2001 Simon Williams Assistant Director The Patients’ Association](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e045503460f94af0bcc/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
There are serious concerns about cost
The British don’t like to spend a lot of money on food!
Across the country there are wide variations in the amount allowed per day
The dietitians role in the team will be to present the nutritional arguments for investment
A key point is that malnutrition in hospital is not without cost In 1992 Kings Fund Estimate of cost was
£266M Food is cheap at £2.40per day (Tube feed
£10, TPN £80)
![Page 61: Better Hospital Food Summits 2001 Presentations. Better Hospital Food Summits 2001 Simon Williams Assistant Director The Patients’ Association](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e045503460f94af0bcc/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
There is an urgent need for sound evaluation
Better Hospital Food requires better funding
This expenditure must be justified Main business case for investment must
ask questions: Is more food eaten? More food eaten = better nutrition? Better nutrition = less morbidity and
mortality? Less morbidity reduces hospital costs? Is the reduction in costs sufficient to
justify investment?
![Page 62: Better Hospital Food Summits 2001 Presentations. Better Hospital Food Summits 2001 Simon Williams Assistant Director The Patients’ Association](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e045503460f94af0bcc/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Recent work suggests that investment is justified
Hugh Tucker and Stanley Miguel (1996) Audit of 2500 patients in 20 US hospitals Substantial reduction in length of stay when
nutritional needs met One day for every two days earlier the intervention Saving for a typical large US hospital $1 million per
annum
Tucker HN, Miguel SG; Cost Containment Through Nutrition Intervention, April 1996, Nutrition Reviews, Vol. 54 No. 4, pp 111-121
![Page 63: Better Hospital Food Summits 2001 Presentations. Better Hospital Food Summits 2001 Simon Williams Assistant Director The Patients’ Association](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e045503460f94af0bcc/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Food service needs champions at a high level
Quality of food service often not defended in face of cost improvements
Quality of food service loses out to price in market testing
Doctors and nurses have low awareness and training on nutrition
May be an over emphasis on “Healthy Eating” Consequently food provision has a humble
profile in the perennial struggle for resources
![Page 64: Better Hospital Food Summits 2001 Presentations. Better Hospital Food Summits 2001 Simon Williams Assistant Director The Patients’ Association](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e045503460f94af0bcc/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Dietitians should make sure they are involved in planning
Trusts need a representative project team Caterers, dietitians, nurses, patient
representatives, doctors The team needs a clear line of
reporting to Trust Board Be very clear about the “must do’s” Analyse the gap between now and
where you need to be Costed project proposal for the Board
![Page 65: Better Hospital Food Summits 2001 Presentations. Better Hospital Food Summits 2001 Simon Williams Assistant Director The Patients’ Association](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e045503460f94af0bcc/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Making implementation stick
On page 111 the NHS Plan says that by 2004 there will be:
“a hospital nutrition policy to improve the outcome of care for patients. This will also reduce dependency on intravenous feed regimes.”
![Page 66: Better Hospital Food Summits 2001 Presentations. Better Hospital Food Summits 2001 Simon Williams Assistant Director The Patients’ Association](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e045503460f94af0bcc/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Making implementation stick (2)
Nutritional care should be fully covered by the Trusts Clinical Governance
This must include the fundamental and key contribution made by food services
Performance assessment and audit structures need to be in place Nutritional Care Committees
akin to Drugs and Therapeutics Committees
![Page 67: Better Hospital Food Summits 2001 Presentations. Better Hospital Food Summits 2001 Simon Williams Assistant Director The Patients’ Association](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e045503460f94af0bcc/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Training and development
A key aspect of implementation will be training and development of staff
Important to involve Staff Development Units
Tap into all available resources Learning accounts / return to
learning schemes Funded NVQ schemes Resources from local Workforce
Confederations Input to contracted teaching and
training resources
![Page 68: Better Hospital Food Summits 2001 Presentations. Better Hospital Food Summits 2001 Simon Williams Assistant Director The Patients’ Association](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e045503460f94af0bcc/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Don’t forget to have fun!!!
The hospitality element of food service is a key determinant of patient satisfaction
Good food is enjoyable and fun!!!
