< Regional Networks page Nutrition Education Policy in Healthcare Practice (NEPHELP) Summary NEPHELP aimed to develop, test, improve and implement nutrition education resources for doctors in hospitals and community settings. We presented core nutrition materials to doctors and other healthcare professionals, taking on board their feedback and tailoring the material and delivery to best fit their needs. This ultimately allowed us to advocate for greater nutrition training in mandatory curricula and to support education teams in implementing this. aims We aimed to empower doctors with greater nutrition training, enabling them to become champions of nutrition within their local teams. This ultimately improved patient care directly through changes in their practice, a greater focus within the teams they worked in, and a reduction in the pressure of inappropriate or unsupported referrals to dietitians. Alongside this, we continued to use our findings, experience and publications to advocate for change in medical student and doctors’ training, ensuring adequate levels of nutrition education. We anticipated that this would lead to a 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 was developed through an MNI-ESPEN-funded grant. 2018-2019 Surveys were collected from junior doctors and medical students on their nutrition training and subsequent confidence. These were analysed and published as a peer-reviewed paper. 2019-2020 Content for a core nutrition workshop for medical professionals was developed and delivered across England, with resources adapted based on feedback. 2020-2023 The materials were adapted into an online virtual learning environment, targeting primary care doctors (GPs). GPs interested in nutrition training and contributing to shaping future resources are invited to register here.

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.

Our aim is to improve nutrition-related health outcomes. our work how we work Our work comprises four overlapping verticals in nutrition and several cross-cutting horizontals. Projects Organogram Learn more about us We are an Independent Global Institute anchored in Cambridge (UK) and working across 10 regional networks involving members from over 80 countries. From 2008-2018, we were hosted by the Cambridge Institute of Public Health (supported by the NIHR School of Public Health 2008-10) and the Medical Research Council Elsie Widdowson Laboratory (supported by MRC Human Nutrition Research 2010-18) in partnership with the British Dietetic Association . With support from Innovate UK, we were incorporated as a Cambridge-based, research-intensive, independent non-profit ahead of our 10th Anniversary. We aim to improve food, nutrition, health, and sustainability outcomes by: promoting nutrition-sensitive microenterprises aimed at social equity; strengthening nutrition research at multiple levels; training professionals in clinical and public health nutrition, and influencing policymakers; providing nutrition and health-related advisory services to high-impact organisations. Our strategic plans have been aligned with the United Nations Decade of Action 2016-2025, following which we have successfully registered our strategic commitments for 2026-2030 with the Global Nutrition Report, in line with the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. As of 2026, we deliver our work through the following interrelated sections, as outlined below: SOCIAL ENTERPRISE, Global operations & impact Since 2017, we have supported the development of innovative social enterprise ventures intended to contribute to nutritional equity, population health, and community resilience, such as the multi-award-winning Mobile Teaching Kitchen International Initiative (MTKi) , which operates across multiple jurisdictions. Our work in this area has been supported extensively by UKRI Global and Grand Challenges awards operated through consortia led by the University of Cambridge.

PHOTOS DONATE NOW PROGRAMME A mini adaption of the 2024 edition of The Confluence for Planetary Health event will be organised as part of the 10th NNEdPro-IANE International Summit on Food, Nutrition and Health . . Summary of the 2023 Confluence The Confluence event unfolded into an enchanting afternoon of Indian Classical Dance and Music, a vibrant celebration of the Festival of Lights. The 2023 Confluence event was an inspiring and transformational experience, featuring not only great entertainment but also delightful samples of our mouth-watering MTK dishes. The afternoon came alive with the mesmerising rhythms of Indian classical dance and music, weaving together the rich tapestry of our cultural heritage in a spectacular showcase that truly captured the spirit of Diwali. The afternoon was a journey of enlightenment, inspiration, and connection. This year's Confluence was not just an event; it was a promise of an unmissable experience. The event took place at Chesterton Community College, Gilbert Road, Cambridge, CB4 3NY. We didn't just serve food; we provided innovative dishes inspired by our Mobile Teaching Kitchen Cookbook recipes. From Millet Upma (savoury) and Millet Halwa (sweet), every dish was a celebration of the UN International Year of the Millet, making it an unforgettable part of the event.
