Advisory Services are offered to external organisations, ranging from local, national and government bodies to academic and corporate organisations, facilitating them to undertake research, implementation and training and offering consultation related to nutrition.​ 

​

We design and conduct education and implementation programmes for individuals or organisations. For example, if a medical or healthcare education provider wishes to incorporate nutrition in their curriculum, we provide direction on the course content as well as strategies for delivery and evaluation of impact. On the other hand, if an organisation wishes to strengthen nutrition-related knowledge and skills within their operations, we can drive implementation and change management in this area. We also work across the interdisciplinary domains underpinning food, nutrition and health. ​Impact evaluation comprises another area of strength within our advisory toolkit.

Aim

To seek implementation strategies for the embedding of good nutrition practices into education as well as food and health systems across sectors through action-orientated research and solution-focused consulting.

Virtual Core, Memberships by Invitation & Partnerships

The International Virtual Core is the central steering and delivery group of the NNEdPro Global Institute for Food, Nutrition and Health. The Virtual Core provides key input to all our projects and initiatives alongside the panels and committees that provide strategic oversight and governance across all our activities.

 

A sub-group of the Virtual Core forms the ‘Projects, Operations and Strategy Team’ (POST) which is more regularly involved in driving forward all projects and initiatives. The Directors are also members of the Virtual Core. 

UK Nutrition Implementation Coalition

The UK & Ireland Network hosts ‘The Nutrition Implementation Coalition', a strategic alliance between NNEdPro, ERimNN, Nutritank and Culinary Medicine UK with a collective vision to improve nutrition education for health care professionals. In turn, this will improve the care provided and hold benefits for population health.
