#WeNurses - Thursday 31st May 2018 8pm (GMT Standard Time) Protected mealtimes

If you haven't joined in a tweet chat before it's very simple.    Here's a guide





 Chat Details

 

Hosted by WeNurses using #WeNurses

During a recent #WeNurses Tweetchat on "The role of carers" the subject of protected mealtimes was raised by some of the participants:



So we thought it would be a great idea to explore this topic in it's own tweetchat:

Protected mealtimes can be described as an initiative to "allow patients to eat their meals without unnecessary interruption, and to enable nursing stuff to provide assistance to those patients unable to eat independently." (NSPA 2004) This makes mealtimes important with the idea that nurses can focus on helping those who need assistance and mealtimes can enjoyable for the people we care for.  This all sounds good in theory ... but what is the reality ? How can we ensure that protected mealtimes work ?  

This #WeNurses discussion aims to explore the following questions:

  • What do we mean by protected mealtimes?
  • What is the evidence behind protected mealtimes?
  • Do protected mealtimes get lost in translation? If so how do we overcome this? 
  • What works well when implementing protected mealtimes?
  • What doesn't work well re protected mealtimes? 
  • What other things can we consider when exploring how we can ensure all patients have adequate nutrition and hydration when in hospital?

Protected Meal Times ie about allowing patients/clients to not only eat meals in peace but ensure they are ready for the meals and limit the noise and activity on the wards #WeNurses

@AnnMarieRiley10 @WeNurses Agreed #wenurses

@WeNurses A time where there is no interuptions to patients and nurses so patients can eat their meal in peace or nurses can help feed a patient without interruptions #WeNurses this should include tests xrays ect are not done during this time

I've seen different things within the same wards - in some, protected mealtimes means staff can't do procedures, examinations etc. On others, it means visitors can't come in unless they are assisting someone to eat #WeNurses https://twitter.com/WeNurses/status/1002263894935601153

@AnnMarieRiley10 @WeNurses Yes I’d go with similar definition of patients being able to have their food without being disturbed by anyone. Noting that some patients do not like eating whilst being watched by relatives~how do we enable relatives to assist some to eat without disturbing others? #WeNurses

@SarahJLT @lizmogs @WeNurses @AnnMarieRiley10 When my husband was very sick in Hospital last year. I would take a sandwich in and we would eat lunch together. Having a meal sitting together was something normal we could do during a very scary and difficult time. I know it really helped both of us. #WeNurses

31 May 2018 20:24
@WeNurses I believe so - the focus should be how we can optimise food, environment and support to enable patients to eat a meal - blanket ban on visitors , not considering the environment and social aspects of mealtimes etc misses the point I think #Wenurses

@WeNurses #wenurses if you ask ten people on a ward what protected meal times are you'll probably get the answer that that it's about providing positive mealtimes but 10 different way this is carried out, i.e. no visitors, no procedures, no interuptions, no transfers etc...

@youvegotanthony @WeNurses Perhaps rebranding of #ProtectedMealtimes is needed, in light of all the #endPJParalysis work that encourages those who are able to get up get dressed & mobilise to a dayroom/ dinning table / communal area away from the bedside. What do others think? #WeNurses

Can I say I see some excellent examples - so it does work we need to share the GOOD more #WeNurses we are all busy but patients do look forward to meal times its something different from the clinical interventions which being honest none of us like being done to us

So a big take-a-way for this evening is don't protect mealtimes from families ... mealtimes are social #wenurses

My story - still blacklisted in some parts of health & care. I've found alternatives, many staff in similar positions struggle & ultimately it's #patients who suffer when people who speak out are 'excommunicated'. http://www.carerightnow.co.uk/1848-2/ #NHS #FTSU #Wemdt #WeStNs #wenurses

#Wenurses Can I states openly that #endPJparalysis and #MealTimematters (Protected Meal Times) go hand in hand I have said for a long time, get patients dressed and up they will eat more and make mealtimes more social on the wards thus speeding up recovery

@AgencyNurse Many of our areas don't have dining rooms but staff have pushed patient tables together to create that social aspect of mealtimes , some have space for small tables and some use dining rooms #wenurses

I have always struggled with the 'protected meal times'. Protected sounds like we are trying to keep something at bay? What about a rebrand to ' Person-Centred meal times'. This tells me so much more about what it's really all about...#WeNurses #ProtectedMealtimes #wecare
