Radia said: “The NACC is incredibly honoured to have been invited by Their Majesties the King and Queen to a reception at Windsor Castle, in recognition of carers and the vital role our members play within the care sector. This is a wonderful acknowledgement of all caterers working within the care sector and the person-centred nutritional care they provide to residents and service users every day.”
The NACC continues to champion excellence in care catering, promoting high standards in nutrition and hydration while recognising the essential role of food and dining in delivering person-centred care.
