  • Provide nutrition plans and monitor their implementation;
  • Prescribe oral nutritional supplements if necessary and monitor their use;

Nutrition Training

We train doctors and other healthcare professionals, patients/residents and their carers, equipping them with first line skills to:

  • Prevent, identify and manage malnutrition
  • Nutrition screening tool implementation e.g. MUST
  • Manage diabetes on a day-to-day basis
  • Understand overweight/obesity, its consequences and first-line management.

Our training topics are not limited to the list above. Find out more about our other training topics.

Catering Consultancy

Good nutrition is the cornerstone of quality care. Care settings are legally required to meet government [Care Quality Commissioners (CQC)] and national hospital food standards for nutrition to ensure their food and beverage services are safe, nutritionally adequate and capable of meeting patients’ nutritional needs. Our robust understanding of the operational requirements and challenges associated with this means we provide expert support and consultancy on:

  • Catering tender specification, contract and mobilisation guidance
  • Recipe development and nutritional analysis
  • Menu planning, development, review and capacity analysis
  • Menu coding
  • Special diet provision e.g. texture modified meals
  • Performance management and compliance audits
  • Catering and food service staff training
  • Basic nutrition & food service awareness training
  • CIEH food hygiene training (Levels 1, 2 and 3)
