Mini Mouth Care Matters Guide  

This guide complements the Mini Mouth Care Matters training.

The information to the best of our knowledge is up-to-date and evidence-based.

 

Mini Mouth Care Matters Assessment and Recording Form with Elephant Mascot

This tool has been developed by the Mini Mouth Care Matters team, by working alongside nursing staff and allied health care professions. It has been audited and modified based on feedback. The recording pack consists of two parts (a) Mouth care assessment – to plan what support and care is needed (b) Daily recording sheet. This form can be adapted to be used in different formats. For example, some use it as a stand-alone tool, others have it as part of a bundle of nursing care plans and others use it digitally.

 

Mini Mouth Care Matters Assessment and Recording Form without Elephant Mascot

This version is the same as the above assessment and recording form but without the Elephant Mascot.

Posters

Mini Mouth Care Matters Elephant Mascot Poster

The Mini MCM mascot acts as an aide memoir for ward staff to remind of the importance of asking about oral health daily, to ensure that they ‘Lift the Lip’ and ‘Put the Mouth Back into the Body’.

The Mascot can be used as a single or double elephant to identify those patients who can independently look after their oral health (single), or those that require assistance (double).

 

 

Double Elephant Mascot

Double elephant mascot, is to be used when a patient needs support or a reminder to perform mouth care.
