Newcastle Clinical Nutrition Course
Course aims:
- To provide a broad grounding in clinical nutrition and allow medical and surgical trainees to develop increased awareness of the appropriate assessment and management of patients with malnutrition.
- The course will be made up of a small group of delegates (maximum 30) and delegates will benefit from case discussions.
- Whilst primarily targeted at trainees, we expect that the programme will carry broader appeal to a wider range of healthcare professionals. We would encourage those interested to attend.
