Residents in a care setting should have regular nutritional screening using a validated, approved screening tool. The most commonly used tool is MUST.

Nutritional Screening should alert health and social care staff to the need for more detailed nutritional assessment by a health professional. Decisions about the appropriateness and effectiveness of nutritional support should then be made.
