About the Presenter

Andy Jones, Immediate Past Chair of the Hospital Caterers Association (HCA), Current Chair of PS100 Group, Self Employed Facilities Specialist - Healthcare and Social Care Consultant (AJ Associates) has been a stalwart of patient catering for over 35 years, with the key influence being the delivery of nutritious and wholesome food and drink (Nutrition and Hydration) service to all patients at ward level. 

Andy’s mantra is to “treat every patient as if he or she is a member of your own family”, and his current focus is to campaign for a patient-focused service that is ultimately owned by hospital caterers from ‘field to point of the patient eating/drinking’ thus enhancing the patient’s experience and aiding clinical teams, regardless of their length of stay in hospital and to eradicate malnutrition. When ill, it is about eating for GOOD HEALTH. 

His passion for patients’ wellbeing is well documented and has been a key leader in the Nutritional and Hydration weeks and currently sits on the Government-led Hospital Food Panel. A member of the cost sector caterers’ top 20 public sector caterers. He is also outspoken on the ‘softer’ issues which are important to patients like simple things as a water jug, crockery to packaging! 

As a trained chef, Andy believes that it is important that whichever method of food preparation a hospital utilizes – whether freshly cooked on the premises or cook-chill/cook freeze – it is vital that the highest standards are in place to make sure it reaches the patient in optimum condition so contributes to their wellbeing and recovery. 

Andy is particularly proud to be chair of the HCA whom he calls the ‘FAMILY’ and his only ‘real’ passion outside of family and work is ARSENAL!  But that’s another story …
