Malnutrition in hospital: Share your experience

older man using laptop

Have you or someone you know been in hospital recently? If so‚ we would like to hear from you.

We would be very interested in hearing how you were treated.

We would especially like to hear from you (or a member of your family, or your carer) if:

  • you have been in hospital in the last six to eight weeks
  • you lost a lot of weight for reasons not directly connected with your immediate medical condition.

Reasons for your weight loss may include:

  • failure to monitor your weight and intake of food,
  • the quality of food,
  • the service of food,
  • a lack of consideration of your special needs,
  • or a failure to consult you, or your relative or carer.

Please download and fill in our opens link in new window case study form and send the completed form to campaigns@ageuk.org.uk as an email attachment.

Or send it to us by post:

Please remember to include:

  • your contact details
  • the hospital you stayed in
  • the length of your stay
  • your experiences (such as weight loss or missing meals).

Thank you for supporting our campaign.
