Healthcare
The healthcare sector poses many challenges for caterers who must provide a varied, appealing, wholesome and nutritional diet which is suited to individual assessed and recorded requirements.
Illnesses such as diabetes and heart disease and conditions such as osteoporosis and arthritis may require dietary modification. For example, those with diabetes are advised to follow a healthy, balanced diet that is low in fat and sugar, and high in fruit, vegetables and starchy carbohydrates. Alternatively, patients, such as young children, may need a diet that is high in fat and sugar in order to build up their body for recovery.
In addition to catering for patients, there is staff and visitor feeding to take into consideration, which can range from a dedicated restaurant to 24-hour solutions such as vending machines.
As a catering supplier to the healthcare sector, we are able to provide you with products and services developed around the needs of your business.
