UK Malnutrition Awareness Week 2020 (UK MAW 2020) takes place during 5th-12th October 2020 and BAPEN are delighted to announce that all of our resources are now available!
There are numerous posters designed to help you share information about malnutrition and older age, which we hope you can share in your workplace or ‘virtually’.
Please feel free to share them as you wish on social and digital platforms. When sharing materials on social media, please do use #UKMAW2020 and tag us and the Malnutrition Task Force where you can.
We look forward to joining you to raise awareness in October!
