It’s time to meet the next members of the hospital MDT, and today it’s the turn of our dietitians! Having a substantial, nutrient-rich diet is as important for older people as it is for anyone else, and malnutrition can be a real problem as people age. In this episode, we explore what malnutrition is, why it affects older people so much, and the approach dietitians take to try and boost the nutritional intake and general wellbeing of our patients.
We speak to two vastly experienced dietitians, David and Lorna, and hear in particular about the work they do with the older patients that they see. From protein to Parkinson’s, and from sandwiches to supplements, there’s a treasure trove of useful information for us to take on board from these two. So come on in, and let’s learn together!
As always, please send us any thoughts or questions you have, either via email at thehearingaidpodcasts@gmail.com, on Facebook, on Twitter @mdtea_podcast or on Instagram @mdteapodcast. We love hearing from you. And don’t forget the #MDTeaser for your chance to win a coveted MDTea mug! See you again in two weeks for Episode 10!
