5. Feeding recovery; the importance of nutrition

Nutrition is often the missing piece in hip fracture recovery — yet it can mean the difference between regaining independence or facing decline. In this episode, we unpack the evidence behind nutrition, or lack thereof, as well as ward-based strategies such as red trays and dietetic assistants. We also highlight the vital role family members play. Drawing on both research and real-world practice, we show why nutrition isn’t just supportive care, but a frontline therapy where families and healthcare teams must work hand in hand.
