Dehydration in Older People Awarenes Week 11th - 17th June 2012
Dehydration in Older People Awareness Week 6th - 12th June 2011
This year sees the launch of the Dehydration in Older People Week, and it is hoped the event of will become an annual event. The aim is to draw attention to the importance of good hydration in a care setting. Good hydration enables service users to enjoy a good quality of life, and prevents many illness which can often lead to hospitalisation. The week will provide a range of important information for carers, social care professionals and service users, plus training aids to further raise awareness across the whole care sector.
Golborne High School - Poster Competition
Pupils from Year 7 at Golborne High School were asked to design a poster which would encourage older people to drink more water. The 11 finalists were invited to Golborne Day Centre on 6th June to spend the day with members of the centre and take part in the organised activites (please click on the download below) which promoted healthy hydration and Food Safety Week. The competition was sponsored by apetito and first and second prizes were awarded.

"This is an example of the work to promote good hydration being carried out by North Somerset CC. This is the feature from North Somerset Life magazine highlighting the work they are undertaking. The campaign has already had an impact with one service user saying that he is now drinking much more water and can't believe how much better he feels with loads more energy and he is not feeling so drowsy. This has been very encouraging for all involved."
