Our founder, Julian Fris, recently spoke at Cultivating Change in Llanelli, Wales, a session focused on public-sector food in Wales.
The event brought together notable members of the Welsh healthcare sector, including Kevin Morgan, a professor of governance and development at Cardiff University and author of “Serving the Public,” as well as Simon Wright, a restaurateur, broadcaster, and chair of the expert working group developing Wales’s National Food Strategy.
They were also joined by Philip Shelley, FIH, who provided an overview of the hospital food strategy in NHS England.
The discussions throughout the day centred on the future and the ambitions for public-sector catering.
Topics included bringing more local produce to hospital and school plates, involving catering teams and guests in shaping menus, and how providing better, more nutritious food can benefit patients in hospitals and children in schools.
