In partnership with NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, BAPEN has developed an interactive e-learning resource on nutritional screening using ‘MUST’. Designed for health care staff working in hospitals, the module explains the causes and consequences of malnutrition, the importance of nutritional screening and how to screen using ‘MUST’. It includes examples of care plans and an online assessment together with a certificate of achievement.

In addition, the resource includes an optional reporting system which can be set at unit, directorate or ward level to enable managers to monitor staff uptake and completion.

Undertaking this module will equip staff to play a key part in improving the nutritional care of their patients/clients.

The resource is hosted on a secure server and can be accessed via the internet thus enabling the learner to complete the module at work or at home. The resource can be customised to include trust logos, a welcome from a senior manager and local care plans if desired. Costs for customisation will depend on the work required.

Whilst this module focuses on the hospital setting, another module is currently being developed to cover alternative settings in the community.

For further information and access to the module, please contact the BAPEN Office on 01527 457850 or email: bapen@sovereignconference.co.uk.
