Perioperative Feeding: Beyond Bland

In this interactive session, we will explore the importance of nutrition in the hospital environment, specifically around surgical procedures.  Including a look at some of the challenges faced by clinical teams when devising feeding orders, we’ll also discuss the reasons that nutrition is sometimes overlooked. We’ll cover when, how and who to feed for best outcomes, take an in-depth look at feeding regimes around routine surgical procedures and discover why any old ‘bland’ diet simply isn’t good enough to support ideal recovery, even after the simplest of surgeries.  We’ll also take a brief look at the Royal Canin Gastrointestinal range and critical care diets, and make broader recommendations on how you can give optimum nutritional support to all patients.
