If just 10% of the Nurses in the NHS saved 15 minutes per day the value of that in increased efficiency would be around £36m per year
Cost savings
A well hydrated person is less likely to develop secondary problems thus reducing the need for additional drugs
Good hydration speeds recovery and so frees up beds more quickly offering potentially huge cost savings
A reduction of just half a day in hospital stays due to correct hydration would show a saving of around £250 per bed per week. With 175,000 beds in the NHS that equates to over £40m per week or OVER £2 BILLION PER YEAR!
