Patient Safety Hydration Best Practice Award
Following evidence from the National Patient Safety Agency's (NPSA) National Reporting and Learning System, the HCA has recognised the valuable contribution that hospital caterers can make to patient safety and good hydration through the provision of fresh, well presented drinking water throughout the day. This is recognised within the HCA Good Practice Guide (Food service at Ward Level).
This hydration Best Practice Award will recognise the outstanding contribution of an individual or team to improving the provision of drinking water to NHS patients and subsequently improving patient safety.
