Ward training dates to switch over to Nutilis Clear

February 5, 2019

Our Trust is changing its thickening agent used for dysphagia (swallowing difficulties) from the starch based Nutilis Powder to a gum based clear product, Nutilis Clear, bringing many advantages.

Nutilis Clear will be introduced into the Trust across all 3 sites on the 12 March.

Please note the mixing instructions and scoop size will be different, along with the descriptor.

Patients identified for this product will have a sticker placed in their drug chart. Please ensure this product is prescribed on patients’ TTO on discharge.

In the run up to the switchover, training will be available on wards on the following dates:

  • 25 February-28 February, Sandwell Hospital
  • 1 March, Rowley Regis Hospital
  • 4 March-7 March, City Hospital
  • 8 March, Rowley Regis Hospital

If you have any queries regarding the change, you can contact the SLT department on 0121 507 4486, option 2 for more information.
