CLINICAL TOOLKIT REFERENCES Background and Context This Clinical Toolkit was developed through a collaboration between the NNEdPro Global Institute for Food, Nutrition and Health and HEIGHTS, aiming to support and strengthen nutritional practices among healthcare professionals (HCPs). The toolkit highlights key nutrients of concern within the UK context, identified through public health data, including the National Diet and Nutrition Survey (NDNS), such as iron, vitamin D, vitamin B9 (folate), vitamin B12, and iodine. Additional nutrients, including riboflavin (vitamin B2), magnesium, vitamin A, and probiotics, were included based on findings from NNEdPro’s Nutrition and Supplementation Survey. This survey explored HCPs' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours related to dietary supplementation. Survey insights directly informed the toolkit’s development, helping ensure it addresses practical needs and supports the evidence-based use of nutrition and supplementation in clinical care.

2nd round Kids Kitchen Club Challenge 2024 Sustainable Nutrition NNEdPro in its mission to bring nutrition to children, is working towards creating awareness among kids aged 4-15 about the food they consume and its importance. NNEdPro has chosen to focus on "Sustainable Nutrition" for this year, building on the success of previous years, and welcomes all 4 to 15-year-olds to take part in this creative art challenge by submitting a piece of work based on the appropriate subtopics for their age group. We encourage all primary and secondary schools to utilise the downloadable interactive worksheet curated by us to conduct the competition in their own institutions. As this year marks the 15th Anniversary of NNEdPro, the participants will be incorporating their ideas into the number 15 template provided as part of the worksheet, which also contains a crossword puzzle in order to familiarise themselves with some of the key sustainable nutrition terms. We hope to see a lot of enthusiastic children taking their first step towards learning about sustainable nutrition. Co mpetition time line Submission Deadline – 15th March 2024 Judging Panel – 22nd March 2024 Winners Announcement – 30th March 2024 INSTRUCTIONS For this year we have divided the children into 3 age groups for participation. Each age group has a separate topic and some guiding questions to get them thinking about the various subtopics that they could potentially explore in their artwork. There is a downloadable worksheet that contains the number 15 template on one side and an interactive crossword puzzle based on some sustainable nutrition terms on the other side.

Malta (Main Summit) Travel Requirements Whilst we cannot provide direct advice on visas and other travel requirements, please note that: You may require a visa to enter Malta. Malta is part of the Schengen Area, and many non-EU nationals need a Schengen visa for short stays (up to 90 days in any 180-day period). Please check the official Maltese visa/Schengen guidance and/or the nearest Maltese embassy or consulate in your country. Your passport must meet Schengen entry rules (commonly: issued within the last 10 years and valid for at least 3 months beyond your planned departure from the Schengen area). Some airlines and transit points may apply additional checks. You may need vaccine certificates in specific circumstances (for example, proof of yellow fever vaccination if arriving from, or transiting through, an affected area). Please check the latest health requirements via official travel health advice. Customs regulations apply, and certain items may be restricted or subject to allowances (including alcohol and tobacco). Please check current Maltese customs rules before travelling. Declaring large sums of money: if you enter, leave, or transit through Malta with €10,000 (or equivalent) or more in cash (including certain cash-like instruments), you must declare it to Customs in line with applicable EU rules. Sherpa is a helpful tool when checking visa and entry requirements. For accurate and up-to-date information, please check with the nearest Maltese embassy or consulate in your country. Please note that this information is provided as guidance only. You are responsible for ensuring you meet all Malta entry requirements, and NNEdPro does not take responsibility if you fail to do so.
