Food in Hospitals

Food in hospitals - This Food in Hospitals Specification 2008 has been revised and updated to
support Scottish NHS Boards in implementing:
• the Healthcare Improvement Scotland Food, Fluid and Nutritional Care
Standards specifically Standards 3, 4 and 53 ; and
• the delivery of a healthy balanced diet for patients who are considered to be
‘nutritionally well’.
As such, Food in Hospitals provides information on standards for nutritional care,
nutrient and food provision for patients within hospitals. It provides information
on how the standards/guidance can be met, through assessment of the hospital
population’s dietary needs, menu planning, and practical suggestions on food
choices suitable for different dietary needs, including special and therapeutic
diets.
