In an aim to improve nutrition and hydration for our trauma and orthopaedic patients, wards 19 and 21 have introduced a new colour-themed nutritional trolley.

Matron, Karen Farrar, explains: “This month the trolley is red to tie in with Wimbledon and the strawberry and cream theme, minus the Pimm’s of course.

“We have sourced red food items including fresh fruit and red drinks, as well as KitKats, ready-salted crisps, red jelly, strawberry ice cream and more.

"Huge thanks to our colleagues for pulling this together in such a short space of time. Our patients are enjoying the treats and we’re aiming to run the trolley twice per week."
