Since 2012, Nutrition and Hydration Week has been an annual event held every March, raising awareness about the critical importance of proper nutrition and hydration. In the UK alone, approximately 3 million people are at risk of malnutrition, and in the G8 countries, that number rises to over 25 million. It's time for us to address these issues head-on.
?? The Reality: A Call to Action
With such staggering numbers, we must engage in opportunities to bring attention to the risks and advocate for good practices that can prevent malnutrition and dehydration. By doing so, we enhance health and well-being and alleviate the burden on healthcare and social services in treating those affected.
?? A Cost-Effective Health Intervention
In the face of tightening budget constraints in the public health environment, Nutrition and Hydration Week stands out as one of the most cost-effective health interventions available. By actively participating, organisations can create a healthier society while operating within financial constraints.

?? Celebrating Successes and Inspiring Change:
Nutrition and Hydration Week celebrates the positive and inspiring practices already in place. These practices are not just for one week a year but are crucial year-round. Let's make Nutrition and Hydration Week an integral part of every organisation's promotional activities, fostering innovation through events and displays that showcase our commitment to well-being.
?? Share, Learn, Develop, Repeat:
This week is not just about showcasing your achievements but also about sharing and learning from others in the industry. Let's collaborate, avoiding reinvention and, instead, focus on sharing ideas that can save time, enhance nutritional care, and ultimately improve the well-being of ourselves and also those we care for.
Be a part of the change, and let's ensure this Nutrition and Hydration Week 2024 is a resounding success! ????
