Mealtimes are very much tied to a person\u2019s most cherished memories, whether it\u2019s a holiday feast with your extended family, or a lunch with friends. When it comes to eating and dining, most people take a great amount of pleasure from coming together with others and enjoying some delicious food.<\/p>\n

Within the healthcare or social care environment, mealtimes serve as an integral part of the caring process, forming a crucial part of the day that, for those who struggle to eat independently can sometimes be fraught with stress and anxiety and, in the end, turn out not very pleasurable at all.<\/p>\n

Enhancing the meal time experience has, according to a talk at a recent Patient First<\/a> conference, become a priority for the health and social care industry, recognising these important times of the day to be not just essential to physical health, but also very important to a person\u2019s mental wellbeing- ensuring that the patient is able to take part in daily activities which many of us would take for granted.<\/p>\n
