Liz, our renal dietitian #SligoUniversityHospital & ATU Sligo nutrition students are doing a fluid awareness day for our renal patients in our dialysis unit. It can be very tricky to adhere to a strict fluid restriction so they are teaching some handy tips 👇 #teamSUH & #SligoIT

Those on haemodialysis are at risk of fluid overload. This week in SUH, assisted by IT students Angela & Ruth, we did a demo on Managing Your Fluid Balance on Dialysis. The theme was 'Think Before You 'Drink' Using a mouthwash & chewing gum reduce thirst.
