Carers often have concerns if the person
they care for isn’t eating enough, this can
be particularly worrying after a hospital stay.
If the person you care for has recently been prescribed an oral
nutritional supplement (ONS) during their hospital admission,
they may need to continue taking this when they are discharged.
Discuss their nutritional needs with their care team before
they leave hospital and remember to discuss any additional
requirements with their GP.
Find more information at carersuk.org/nutrition or by calling the
Nutricia helpline on 0845 250 1011. Download the Nutricia and
Carers UK booklets to help you discuss the nutritional intake of
the person you care for with their healthcare professional.
