Support us Donate now the roundtable of patrons how the roundtable works The Roundtable of Patrons is a funding structure that allows organisations and stakeholders to support multiple initiatives across NNEdPro’s key areas of impact. 1. Patronage Contribution and Selection of Initiatives Each Patron contributes at their chosen tier level. Patrons at higher tiers can allocate their funding across multiple initiatives. For example, a Diamond Patron can choose up to 5 initiatives to support. A Ruby Patron can support 1-2 initiatives of their choice. Each patron directs their funding to specific areas, ensuring a targeted impact while benefiting from associated recognition and engagement opportunities. 2. The Summit vs. The Roundtable of Patrons The Summit has its own dedicated sponsorship model, while the Roundtable offers a flexible, long-term funding opportunity across multiple programmes. The Summit Supportership Packages (Platinum, Gold, Silver) are exclusive to the Summit. Organisations can support the Summit only through these packages, receiving event-specific benefits such as branding, speaking opportunities, and VIP access. The Roundtable of Patrons is a wider, year-round commitment that funds multiple initiatives, including the Summit if chosen, but it is not Summit-specific. 3. Can a Patron Support Both? Yes! An organisation can: Become a Summit Supporter through Platinum , Gold , or Silver sponsorship. Join the Roundtable of Patrons at Diamond, Emerald, Ruby, etc. to support broader initiatives. Do both—support the Summit separately while also funding additional initiatives via the Roundtable. tiers of patronage Each tier of patronage corresponds to a level of financial commitment and support, allowing stakeholders to engage at different levels. Since the Summit has its own supportership system, this patronage structure serves as a higher-level, year-round commitment that funds one or more initiatives. The tiers are as follows: Diamond Patron (Top Tier) – Supports multiple initiatives (e.g., 4-5 initiatives or major sponsorship of a flagship initiative). Emerald Patron – Supports 2-3 initiatives. Ruby Patron – Supports 1-2 initiatives. Sapphire Patron – Funds a specific project or a focused area within an initiative. Opal Patron (Entry-Level) – Provides general or unrestricted support. initiative alignment Each initiative falls within a grouping to help guide patrons towards supporting causes that align with their mission. Instead of treating initiatives as separate, they are clustered based on common themes, making it easier for organisations to choose an area that resonates with their priorities. Groupings include: Advancing Global Nutrition & Health Summit (flagship initiative) MTK International NNEdPro IANE Cutting-Edge Science & Research Data Science Human Intervention Studies BMJ Nutrition Education, Literacy & Capacity Building Summer School Literacy Libraries Leadership Training Sustainability & Future Innovations Sustainability Awards Symposium Each Patron Tier funds one or more initiatives within a grouping, ensuring that patrons can direct their contributions towards areas that reflect their values while maintaining flexibility in their impact. recognition & benefits Each tier of patronage comes with exclusive benefits to recognise and reward supporters for their contributions. Diamond Patron Named as a "Principal Patron" on all funded initiatives. Receives VIP invitations to the Summit and networking events.

< Regional Networks page Nutrition Education Policy in Healthcare Practice (NEPHELP) Summary NEPHELP aims to develop, test, improve and implement nutrition education resources for doctors in hospitals and community settings. We present core nutrition materials to doctors, and other healthcare professionals, taking on board their feedback and tailoring the material and delivery to fit their needs best. Ultimately this allows us to advocate for greater nutrition training in mandatory curricula, and support education teams to implement this. aims We aim to empower doctors with greater nutrition training, to become champions of nutrition in their local team. This will ultimately improve patient care directly through their changed practice, the greater focus in the team working with them, and reduce the pressure of inappropriate or unsupported referrals to dietitians. Alongside this we will continue to use our findings, experience and publications to advocate for change in medical student and doctor’s training to have adequate levels of nutrition training. We hope this will lead to greater focus on nutrition and lifestyle change to prevent and treat disease, supported by a trained healthcare workforce, working seamlessly between hospitals and the community. Timeline 2018 NEPHELP developed through MNI-ESPEN funded grant 2018-2019 Collected surveys of junior doctor’s and medical student’s opinions of their nutrition training, and subsequent confidence, analysing this and then publishing as a peer-reviewed paper 2019-2020 Developed content for a core nutrition for medical professionals’ workshop, running across England and adapting a set of resources from feedback 2020 – Present Adapted the material to an online virtual learning environment, targeting primary care doctors (GPs) Materials under feedback currently, if you are a GP interested in free nutrition training which you can help shape for future doctors register here Key outputs and documents Infographic: Time for Nutrition in Medical Education Paper: Time for Nutrition in Medical Education CN Article: Accelerating Nutrition Capacity Building for UK Doctors and Health Professionals Webinar: Nutrition in the treatment and rehabilitation of COVID-19 AIM Foundation Concept note Poster: Leading Change in Nutrition Education and Training Blog: A 13-year journey towards implementing improved medical nutrition education in the UK and beyond Video: MNI Grant Ceremony Nutrition Education Policy in Healthcare Practice (NEPHELP) Project Team & Global Advisory Panel Project Team Sumantra Ray Principal Investigator Kathy Martyn Principal Investigator Luke Buckner Deputy Principal Investigator *Elaine MacAninch Deputy Principal Investigator Breanna Lepre Deputy Principal Investigator Ebiambu Agwara Project Coordination Lead Wanja Nyaga Project Coordination Lead Matheus Abrantes Project Coordination Lead Pauline Douglas Key Advisor Minha Rajput-Ray Key Advisor Shivani Bhat Key Advisor Halima Jama Key Advisor *Currently on leave of absence.
