Nutrition Clinic
About this department
Proper nutrition during a hospital stay shortens recovery, prevents complications and builds immune resilience, so nutrition care runs alongside medical treatment in the wards and in our outpatient clinics.
Inpatient clinical nutrition
- Nutritional assessment and care planning — universal screening of patients on admission, to identify, prevent and treat malnutrition
- Critical care and specialised nutrition — precise enteral (tube feeding) and nutrition regimens for patients in the medical and surgical wards
- Therapeutic hospital menus — meals produced with our hospitality department and customised to specific therapeutic needs, such as low-sodium, texture-modified and diabetic diets
- Pre- and post-operative nutritional optimisation — building nutrient reserves before major surgery, and managing diet through post-surgical recovery
Outpatient nutrition and dietetic clinics
