An audit of nutritional practice was carried out in one NHS trust. Findings demonstrated areas for improvement, particularly in the documentation of nutritional status and in criteria for referral for specialist help. An assessment sheet and a nursing care plan were developed to assess patients' risk of being malnourished and to provide a recognised place for recording nutrition-related information.
