Abstract

With the rising incidence of dysphagia in older people in hospitals (Leder and Suiter, 2009), geriatricians are more frequently seeking advice from their multidisciplinary team colleagues on nutrition planning (Chaklader, 2012). The survey results reflect this, indicating older people’s teams are supportive of the pathway and find a protocol beneficial. Although the survey participants noted a reduction in wait times for a nutritional plan to be put in place, a number were in the early stages of the introduction of a protocol – therefore, formal audit results were unavailable. However, all participants using a protocol expressed positive, coordinated management of the patient with increased awareness from the multidisciplinary team of risk feeding and a pragmatic approach to management.
