What is BAPEN?
The British Association for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (BAPEN) is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) which brings together leading multi-disciplinary professional and patient groups and networks from across the UK to help promote the best possible outcomes in nutritional care.
Our UK Survey of Malnutrition Risk and Nutritional Care is live!
BAPEN has launched a new national survey to gather data on the prevalence of malnutrition and malnutrition risk across the UK, and better understand the nutritional care interventions being adopted by healthcare professionals and multi-disciplinary teams.
Strong data is the foundation for better nutritional care, smarter planning, and effective advocacy for those at risk. Therefore, to understand the true prevalence of malnutrition risk, we would like you to survey all patients or clients in a particular area, not just those who are receiving nutritional care, at risk of malnutrition or known to the dietitian.
We would suggest completing the survey on a whole ward, a clinical area, an outpatients’ clinic, all residents in a care or nursing home, people attending a GP surgery or those receiving district nursing or domiciliary care.
