A unique collaboration between Nutricia Advanced Medical Nutrition and BAPEN, the BAPEN Nutricia Award has been established for over 15 years. The award is aimed at providing funding and support for research and best practice in the field of clinical nutrition. Each year Healthcare Professionals and Researchers are invited to apply with a research or best practice project. The award often takes a theme each year to encourage research and best practice in different areas of clinical practice and interest. All researchers and healthcare workers based within the United Kingdom who are actively involved in clinical nutrition are eligible and encouraged to apply. Applications are judged anonymously by a select panel from BAPEN and the research team at Nutricia. The winner of each award receives a set monetary amount to fund their proposed project and a paid place at the BAPEN Annual Conference to receive their award on stage.
A list of previous winners and runners up of the BAPEN Nutricia Award are provided below. For further information on future BAPEN Nutricia awards and how to apply please contact Dr Abbie Cawood on This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
