Let’s Simplify The Process Of Managing Malnutrition

We understand that the management of malnutrition can be seen as complex, and with complexity can come wastage.

With around 225 products to choose from¹ , the cost and prescribing of oral nutritional supplements (ONS) can be difficult to manage. However, the risks of not managing malnutrition properly are real, with physical wastage for the patient, and economic wastage for the NHS.

Patients who are malnourished are twice as likely to visit the GP, 3 times more likely to be admitted into hospital and stay in hospital 3 days longer than a well-nourished patients².

With 10% of over 65s in the community with, or at risk of, malnutrition- roughly 4,000 per average CCG^2-3*- that’s an incremental annual cost of £21.3 million in treating malnourished patients. With ever-tighter budgets, you can’t afford wastage.
