Our product range is available with no need for discussion around contracts as prices are fixed by the listed tariff price.
When patients are unable to meet their nutritional requirements through food alone, oral nutritional supplements are prescribed for the dietary management of disease-related malnutrition if they are:
Malnutrition is a common problem with 30% of adults found to be affected on admission to hospital and 35% of adults affected when admitted to care homes.3 Those suffering from malnutrition are admitted to hospital more often, have longer hospital stays, visit their GP more frequently and are more prone to infections.3
In November 2015, the National Institute for Health Research Southampton Biomedical Research Centre (NIHR Southampton BRC) and the British Association for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (BAPEN) published a report that estimated the cost of malnutrition in England was £19.6 billion in 2011-2012.4
This figure is set to increase as the population ages and the cost of health and social care rises, already almost 50% higher compared with £13 billion reported in 2007. 4
The National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) states that improving the treatment of malnutrition has the third highest potential to deliver cost savings to the NHS.4 This is also supported by BAPEN, reporting that the implementation of the NICE clinical guidelines for the treatment of malnutrition, in hospital and community settings, led to greater cost savings than those reported by NICE. 4
At AYMES, we’re proud that our products and story continues to help improve lives and impacts on the wider health and social care agenda, with every step we take.
At AYMES, we realise that older adults are often the most vulnerable and affected by malnutrition. With this in mind, we believe we have a moral duty to keep the patient at the heart of everything we do; pledging 5% of our profits to support good causes in the UK to help make a difference to local communities and the vulnerable and older adults in which they support.
We’re constantly innovating to bring new, exciting and tasty nutritional supplement formats to market, because more choice provides greater flexibility for healthcare professionals to better meet their patients’ needs.
When it comes to medical nutrition, AYMES leads the way, developing many industry firsts:
