NUTRITION TRAY AUDITS
As the name Nutrition Services
indicates, the purpose of the Tray
Accuracy Audit is to try to nd errors
or glitches on the trays so that they can trucks. The Volunteer Food Tray
be xed before food carts are sent to
the hospitals.
It's an activity performed against the
clock because lunch shift carts must
leave for TWH starting at
approximately 8:00 am, while those for
PMH begin leaving at 9:00 am and
TGH's departure commences at 9:15
am. Auditor must manage his/her labour
The errors go from the minuscule (e.g.,
a small envelope of salt missing); to
glitches in the washing process (cutlery
or plates with bits of food attached;
plastic covers of dishes with parts of
adhesive tape still present); to
signi cant issues such as wrong
portion size or a mistaken food item
(which drastically change the patient's
prescribed diet); to inadvertently
breaking a patient's religious food
restrictions or not complying with
his/her personal food choices (e.g.,
vegetarian); or even potentially severe,
as would be overlooking one or more
allergies listed on the individual menu.

Together in Movement and Exercise (TIME™) is a program that
was designed by Physiotherapists at Toronto Rehab in 2007. The
program was developed for adults who have challenges with
balance and mobility. This successful program is now led by Fitness
Instructors in Community Centers across Canada!
Volunteers from UHN provide support in biweekly classes for the
seasonal TIME™ program at each of three associated City of
Toronto Community Centers. (Wallace Emerson, Waterfront
Neighbourhood Centre and North Toronto Memorial Community
Centers)
After receiving training from the Physiotherapists at University
Centre, the Outpatient Exercise Program Support Volunteers
foster a friendly environment through social interaction and assist
participants to exercise safely during the program.
Siobhan Giles and Irene Poon, Outpatient Exercise Support Volunteers, demonstrate one of
the movement activities that they assist participants with as part of the TIME™ program at
