Sometimes patients aren’t aware how much they can drink before an operation.
Impact
Dehydration slows recovery and affects wellbeing.
Idea
To design and produce ceramic Think Drink mugs to give as rewards to staff and patients upon successful completion of a hydration quiz as part of the activities during National Nutrition and Hydration week.
Benefits
The mugs will increase awareness of the Think Drink project at NUH, which looks at ways of reducing fasting times for patients waiting for operations to enhance patient recovery and improve their experience.
