A Slice of Hospital Toast a Day Keeps the Doctors at Bay

Anecdotal evidence over the years has suggested that toast made in hospital, so called 'hospital toast' tastes better than toast made at home, or anywhere else for that matter. We carried out a prospective, multi-professional study to determine the views and the toast eating habits of NHS staff. Fifty members of NHS staff were surveyed across two hospital trusts. This included nursing staff, doctors from various specialties and allied health professionals. Results were overwhelming, a staggering 96% admitted to enjoying a slice of hospital toast while at work. In keeping with anecdotal evidence, 92% were adamant that hospital toast tasted better with multiple ingenious theories suggested for the reason behind this. So the rumours seem to be true, well, according to the 'bread and butter' of the NHS anyway; hospital toast tastes better than toast anywhere else. It provides fuel to busy healthcare professionals and overall boosts staff morale during trying times in the NHS. The mystery behind this magical hospital toast remains unsolved.
