BAPEN Conference, Harrogate, 27/28
November 2007 |
BAPEN’s focus on improving nutrition treatment and care receives significant boost as it prepares for Conference
As preparations for BAPEN’s 2007 ‘Malnutrition Matters’
Conference intensify, the charity that is committed to improving
nutritional care and treatment in hospital, care and community,
received a boost from the Department of Health, national agencies and a
wide stakeholder group.
The charity’s Nutrition Screening Week,
aimed at collecting data on malnutrition risk on admission to hospital
and into care homes, has received endorsement from Ivan Lewis Care
Services Minister and the Department of Health, as well as from the
National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA), the Royal College of Nursing
(RCN) and the British Dietetic Association (BDA).
Malnutrition Risk – results at Conference
The
data on malnutrition risk will reflect what is happening in the
community – where most malnutrition exists – as well as providing clear
evidence for hospitals and care homes as to the scale of the problem
they have to tackle. The results from the Screening Week will be
presented on the opening day of the Malnutrition Matters Conference and
will be followed by an address and Question session with Ivan Lewis,
Care Services Minister.
Ivan Lewis’s topic will be the National Nutrition Action Plan which
has been developed by a wide group of stakeholders, including BAPEN,
and will be officially launched in late September. The aim of the
Nutrition Action Plan is to pull together the various strands of
important work being undertaken and provide a clear focus under the
Government’s Dignity & Respect Campaign. Delegates to the Malnutrition Matters Conference will be able to question the Minister on the content and objectives of the Plan.
Nutrition in Cancer
Expertise
and understanding of the importance of appropriate nutrition and
nutritional support throughout the cancer journey – from prevention to
end of life – is accumulating all the time.
Two
major symposia at Conference will bring delegates up to speed with
latest information on complications in cancer therapy (radiation &
chemotherapy) and how nutrition can play a significant part in that
treatment, Home Parenteral Nutrition (HPN) for cancer patients, gut
hormones and appetite in cancer as well as a global view on the
interaction of food, nutrition and cancer prevention.
Nutrition and Liver Disease,
under the Chairmanship of Conference Chair Dr Mike Stroud, is discussed
with presentations from Professor Alan Jackson of Southampton on the
organ itself, Dr Marcia Morgan from London on nutrition support, and
Professor Rosemary Richardson from Glasgow who investigates the options
for feeding patients with liver disease.
The pre-term infant - nutrition matters
A
welcome focus on paediatric nutrition is provided in two
Symposia. Fluid and Nutrition Support in the first week of life
comes under scrutiny on first day of conference with guidelines on
amino acids being presented by Professor Patti Thureen from the
University of Colorado, lipid emulsion by Dr Susan Hill, Great Ormond
Street Hospital and enteral nutrition support by Caroline King from
Hammersmith Hospital.
The second Symposium looks at
managing fluids and electrolytes, managing intravenous glucose and
closes with Tony Murphy, Pharmacist at University College Hospital,
discussing the formulation of standard baby TPN feeds.
Enteral Nutrition – The Iceman Cometh?
Current
practice in nasogastric tube placement comes under scrutiny from the
NPSA on the second day of Conference, together with presentations on
safer routes and future options.
The final
Conference Symposium poses key debate questions on choice regarding
fibre, peptides and high protein in enteral feeds, with expert
argumentation from the likes of David ‘QC’ Silk, Tim ‘Maximum
Impaction’ Bowling and Mike ‘The Iceman’ Stroud. Check out the
programme for full details!
It’s got jam on it!
Pancreatitis and
artificial nutrition, naso-jejeunal feeds and the evidence for
different routes for administration, presented by Professor Peter Layer
from the University of Hamburg, provides one of the well-focused
opening Symposium on Day One.
The parallel session on day one Feeding the Older Person in the Community
looks at micronutrient status, appetite control and body composition
changes in the older person and nutrition in early dementia, for those
with dementia and their carers.
A workshop on the Mental Capacity Act and its impact on nutrition support, the Nutricia Fellowship Awards, the Pennington Lecture and Cuthbertson Medal Lecture, Original Communications and e-poster sessions complete another jam-packed BAPEN meeting. |

Council of Europe
10 'key characteristics' event 4th Oct 2007
Many
of you will be aware of the 2nd Nutrition Summit hosted by the Minister
for Care Services, Ivan Lewis at the Department of Health on July 17th.
It was a very encouraging event and there was widespread support from
the Minister and everyone else present for the work of BAPEN and the
Council of Europe Alliance.
Our multi-stakeholder
approach has borne fruit, most people in the room were well aware of
the work we have been doing and the summit provided everyone with the
opportunity to voice their support.
To publicise the
outputs of the Council of Europe Alliance, a UK-wide and pan-profession
press event for the '10 Key Characteristics of Good Nutritional Care'
was held on Thursday 4th October 2007.
