Eating and nutritional care

SCIE's work on nutrition focuses on older people. Malnutrition affects over 10 per cent of older people so it is a major issue. Our guidance is based on research that shows that bringing about a culture change in nutrition and mealtimes is dependent on good leadership, adequate staffing levels and staff induction and training.
