National Vegetarian Week will take place from 1 to 7 October and is the perfect reason to give vegetarian food a go!
Whether it’s going veggie all week or just for one meal, you’ll still be making a big difference because small swaps here and there can have a real and positive impact on the planet.
Our catering menus have at least one vegetarian option available, and we’re encouraging patients and staff to try a vegetarian meal. We will be creating the opportunity to experience vegetarian food whilst still offering a full and balanced menu without removing choice in a cost and environmentally effective way.
Ward managers and ward based staff are encouraged to cascade the message at ward handovers, briefs and patient forums.
Some of our sites will be offering samples of vegetarian meals and promoting the associated health benefits.
The Vegetarian Society has lots of information about Vegetarian Week including delicious recipes and information about the health benefits.
