By GlobalDataSodexo UK and Ireland healthcare CEO Stuart Winters said: “Extending our ten-year partnership with Birmingham Children’s Hospital was a clear opportunity to review and overhaul patient dining and retail provision.
“Our new menus will offer improved and tailored choices with a clear focus on fresh food and locally sourced produce.
“These have been designed to ensure that we give the right nutrition to children and young people to help them heal and recover, and play a part in the Children’s Hospital staff continuing to deliver the best possible care.”
Earlier this month, Sodexo introduced a new restaurant, Kitchen Works Co, to serve employees in manufacturing and data centre environments.
