    AbstractThere is ample evidence that doctors frequently miss meals at work, which negatively impacts concentration, decision-making and overall patient care. Junior doctors are particularly vulnerable given their heavy workload. We report on the impact of a pilot programme supporting home-based meal preparation on the dietary habits and energy levels of interns at a tertiary hospital and demonstrate this is one strategy healthcare organisations can adopt to promote a healthier workforce.© 2023 The Authors.
