Abstract

The purpose of this document is to guide healthcare professionals through the complex decision-making process to support adults when eating and drinking with acknowledged risks. The aim is to provide a framework to facilitate a swift, consistent decision-making process respecting individual wishes and maximising quality of life. The guidance aims to clarify the assessment, decision-making and documentation processes required in order to achieve person-centred, multidisciplinary and multi-agency care planning with clear methods of review for individuals. It is in no way prescriptive but seeks to serve as guidance for adults with dysphagia across care settings. While the Royal College of Physicians (RCP) document ‘Supporting people who have eating and drinking difficulties’ (2021) is the primary guidance for care and clinical assistance towards the end of life, this document will serve as an adjunct referring to the nuances within the decision-making process for adults eating and drinking with acknowledged risks irrespective of the stage or progression of their illness. The decision-making process requires a person-centred problem-solving approach from the range of professionals involved in the individual’s nutritional management and care.
