The Nutrition Implementation Coalition (NIC) was a collaborative group established in 2019 by NNEdPro Global Institute for Food, Nutrition and Health, Nutritank, ERimNN and Culinary Medicine UK.
It brought together organisations with a variety of educational, professional and research expertise, all sharing a common vision: to advocate for improved nutrition education for healthcare professionals and to bridge the gap between knowledge and practice. This aimed to strengthen the ability of doctors, nurses, and health and social care professionals to deliver effective nutrition care.
“We believe better nutrition educated health and social care workforce improves patient outcomes and holds benefit for population health.“
The coalition combined its collective efforts, passion and expertise to:
-
Research and develop strategies and resources to improve nutrition education for all healthcare professionals.
-
Influence stakeholders to implement evidence-based nutrition care within training, increasing the nutrition capacity of the medical, health and social care workforce.
aims
The coalition aimed to realise its vision of a future with stronger nutrition integration in healthcare through the following objectives:
-
Increasing the focus on nutrition education within healthcare curricula.
-
Supporting the inclusion of assessment to ensure a minimum standard of nutrition knowledge and practice.
-
Providing advice and resources to support curriculum developers where needed.
