Our October Resource of the Month is our Nutrition Care Plans. These provide clear, practical steps to support people at low, medium or high risk of malnutrition - helping professionals move from screening to meaningful action. The care plans outline food fortification advice, hydration prompts, monitoring and review, and guidance on when ONS may be appropriate for those at higher risk. They support consistent nutritional care across community teams, care homes and primary care. Explore the care plans: bit.ly/4zboAlC
On #WorldFoodDay, we're highlighting the importance of food fortification for people at risk of malnutrition. Small changes to everyday meals can make a big difference to nutritional intake, particularly when appetite is poor. Find out more in our food fortification leaflet: bit.ly/4hPmiCP

Frailty is not inevitable - nutrition, exercise & early intervention can make a real difference. In our new podcast, Dr Anne Holdway & Dr Sanjay Suman discuss frailty, sarcopenia and malnutrition, alongside the practical steps community professionals can take to identify and support those at risk. The conversation covers recognising early signs, using tools such as SARC‑F & the Clinical Frailty Scale, as well as addressing nutrition issues & eating/drinking difficulties as part of routine practice. The podcast reinforces a key message: time is muscle - delays in accessing nutrition support can lead to avoidable & sometimes irreversible muscle loss. Early nutrition intervention, combined with activity, is essential to protect strength & independence.
