Please note that we are asking dietitians to provide survey data of all patients recently admitted on a ward, not their own caseloads only. This is because we are keen to establish the prevalence of malnutrition in your care setting, not the prevalence of malnutrition amongst patients referred to the dietitian. If you cannot survey all wards, please submit survey data for whichever wards you can, with the ward type clearly on the input sheet. You have 4 weeks to collect and input the survey data, although we ask that you collect the data from any given ward on ‘one day only’ to avoid double counting.
