Founded in Cambridge (UK) in 2008 and directed by Professor Sumantra (Shumone) Ray , the NNEdPro Global Institute along with its partner initiatives seeks to advance and implement food and nutrition knowledge for health and society. At least one in nine people will go hungry today, yet 2.6 billion are overweight or obese globally. Countless individuals also experience ‘hidden hunger’ due to a lack of micronutrients. For many, a nutritious diet is simply unavailable or unaffordable. We believe that everyone has the right to access healthy food and that global malnutrition can be resolved through equity, collaboration, knowledge sharing and technology. Led by cutting-edge academic research, we look to benefit vulnerable families and communities on-the-ground, as our education programmes train frontline healthcare and nutrition professionals throughout the world. Together, through interdisciplinary partnerships, we can improve food and health systems – from production through to consumption, and beyond into healthcare – to change behaviours and facilitate sustainable improvements in global nutrition. let's end malnutrition by 2030 Democratising and Decolonising Food and Nutrition: From Science to Society PRE-SUMMIT WORKSHOP & ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION 1st July 2024 / 9:30 to 16:30 UK In-person & Virtual Ulster University City Campus, Belfast, Northern Ireland MAIN SUMMIT 17th to 20th December 2024 In-person & Virtual Science City, Kolkata, India Learn more What are the Terms & Conditions to attend the course? 1.

The NNEdPro Global Institute for Food, Nutrition and Health and the International Academy of Nutrition Educators , in partnership with BMJ Nutrition, Prevention & Health , are excited to announce the forthcoming "Democratising and Decolonising Food and Nutrition: From Science to Society " Summit. This Summit is dedicated to fostering a more inclusive, equitable, and collaborative approach to food and nutrition research, education, practice, and policy worldwide. At the heart of this Summit is the concept of enhancing global collaboration. 'Democratising' involves expanding the dialogue/conversation to include a diverse range of perspectives and viewpoints to bridge the gap between traditional knowledge systems and contemporary scientific research. We recognise the importance of integrating diverse viewpoints and expertise and are keen to establish a space where every voice is included, acknowledged and addressed. 'Decolonising' involves exploring the current food and nutrition landscape, acknowledging the historical influence of specific world regions and institutions on research directions, educational content, policy development, and clinical guidelines. Our objective is to foster an inclusive dialogue that respects and incorporates the contributions of all stakeholders, with a particular emphasis on those from historically underrepresented regions and communities. The Summit will highlight the significance of integrating traditional, indigenous and local food practices with global nutrition science by focusing on middle-income countries and their valuable insights. This approach aims to enrich our understanding and tackle disparities within the field. By utilising a case-based methodology and a constructive outlook, the Summit is set to identify critical areas for growth and collaboration across the four foundational pillars of research, education, practice, and policy. Through carefully examining existing studies and successful models, we aspire to uncover strategies that promote a more inclusive, equitable approach to food and nutrition. The Summit's ultimate vision is to pave the way for a future where the global food and nutrition community works hand in hand, leveraging diverse knowledge and perspectives. This collaborative effort seeks to ensure that our collective approach to food and nutrition is informed by a wide range of voices, driving forward with inclusivity and equity at the forefront, effectively bridging the gap between science and society. In line with the nine Summits preceding this event, all proceedings of our 10th Summit, including submitted and successful abstracts, will continue to be published in a peer-reviewed journal. Bringing together expert speakers from across 6 continents Plenary sessions and interactive panel with key opinion leaders on global systems perspective Scientific poster competition, workshops & networking opportunities Held in close partnership with the official NNEdPro journal: BMJ Nutrition, Prevention and Health As a delegate of the NNEdPro Summit you are entitled to a 20% discount on the cost of publishing an article in BMJ Nutrition, Prevention & Health Summit Programme The NNEdPro International Summit on Food, Nutrition and Health is a leading annual scientific meeting. The 2023 Summit considered ‘Sustainable Resourcing For All In Food & Nutrition Security: Creative solutions for healthy & resilient populations’, which highlighted the need to consider the inequities that exist within the food and nutrition landscape, leading us to fully explore the theme of ‘Democratising and Decolonising Food and Nutrition: From Science to Society ’ in 2024. This will take the form of a hybrid pre-summit workshop and roundtable discussion in Belfast, on 1st July 2024 , and a main Summit event, also in a hybrid format, in Kolkata, India, from 17th to 20th December. These events will bring together the collective views of our regional networks spanning over 65 countries as well as a multitude of organisations, giving even wider geographical and disciplinary coverage. ​ Registration includes access to plenary sessions , interactive panel discussions and abstract presentations showcasing work from all NNEdPro Regional Networks and key collaborators, with 40+ hours of engaging content!

Nutrition Education Policy in Healthcare Practice (NEPHELP) < Back Reporter Name Our Work Category Matheus Abrantes Education and Training Centre SUMMARY NEPHELP aims to improve nutrition training for doctors by developing, testing, and implementing nutrition education resources in hospitals and community settings. The project involves presenting core nutrition materials to doctors and other healthcare professionals, collecting their feedback, and tailoring the material and delivery to best fit their needs. NNEdPro uses the findings from this project to advocate for greater nutrition in mandatory healthcare curricula. BACKGROUND Nutrition training in UK medical schools is limited. Despite the fact that most doctors and medical students agree on the importance of nutrition in health and the role of doctors in promoting nutrition, studies have found that most doctors feel that their nutrition training is inadequate. As such, many doctors do not feel confident in giving nutrition advice to their patients. This lack of robust nutrition education for doctors contributes to poorer patient health outcomes. Aims - To empower doctors with greater nutrition training to become champions of nutrition in their local team. - To improve patient care and reduce the pressure of inappropriate or unsupported referrals to dietitians. - To advocate for adequate levels of nutrition education in medical school and doctor’s training. - To increase the focus on nutrition and lifestyle change to prevent and treat disease, supported by a trained healthcare workforce, working seamlessly between hospitals and the community. Outcomes - Publication of a peer-reviewed paper following a survey of junior doctor’s and medical student’s opinions of nutrition training and confidence levels. - Developed a core nutrition workshop for medical professionals and delivered this training across England. - Adapted the core nutrition workshop for an online virtual learning environment, directed at primary care doctors (GPs). Timeline 2018: NEPHELP is developed through an MNI-ESPEN funded grant 2018-2019: NEPHELP team surveys junior doctors and medical students for their opinions on nutrition training and confidence levels. A peer-reviewed paper is published in the BMJ. 2019-2020: A core nutrition workshop for medical professionals is developed and delivered across England. 2020: The nutrition workshop is adapted for an online virtual learning environment. Present: Feedback on the nutrition workshop is being collected from primary care doctors (GPS).
