title: Patient and family views of nutritional status.
abstract: Providing adequate food in hospitals remains a concern for those involved in healthcare as well as patients and relatives. We conducted a small-scale survey to explore relatives' and patients' perceptions about the risk of developing malnutrition in hospital and to gauge whether further more in-depth audit was required.
