GULP Assessment
In the absence of a nationally recognised Hydration Assessment tool, we have had the permission of South Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust to utilise a tool they designed and implemented. This is known as the GULP (Gauge, Urine, Look, Plan) assessment tool. This easy to use tool can be used with the other resources in the toolkit to promote hydration in the care home.
