Well I didn't until our fabulous friend @mynameisAndyJ told me - yes it's Nutrition and Hydration week 14th – 20th March 2016The mission of the week is to create a global movement that will reinforce and focus, energy, activity and engagement on nutrition and hydration as an important part of quality care, experience and safety improvement in health and social care settings.
Its also about leaving a lasting legacy beyond the week to share fab stuff and enhance lives.
There is a different focus each day, but the main event as such is the afternoon tea party on the Wednesday which is always fun. This year from the feedback its going to the biggest yet with over 85% of Trusts and boards taking part, over 2500 care homes and 30 plus countries around the world (Tasmania to Canada to Portugal)!
So not much happening then! This year they have decided to try to break 3 yes 3 world records!
· Biggest afternoon tea party in one place · Multi-site afternoon tea parties across the UK · Most global Afternoon tea parties! The aims and charter can be found here http://nutritionandhydrationweek.co.uk/our-aim/ Apparently the week is run by 3 mad people (their words not mine!) – Caroline Lecko (nurse), Derek Johnson (caterer Care) and Andy Jones (caterer – Healthcare)
This year’s launch is going to be with our friends from Northumberland and none other than the inspirational Michael Porter and the team - you can find examples of Michaels work Here
