< Our Work page Advisory Services  [Implementation Research and Consulting in Nutrition] From 2025, NNEdPro advisory services are contracted through ray advisory services 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.

History of nnedpro In 2003, the Council of Europe published over 100 recommendations to improve nutritional care across European countries and the UK formed an Alliance led by the BDA over 2005-2007 to examine this issue. During this time the BMA passed a priority motion to strengthen nutrition related healthcare. Over two years, representatives from several professional organisations worked through the Alliance resulting in three outputs: a BBC documentary entitled ‘Hungry in Hospital’ around the patient journey, a consensus statement ‘The 10 Key Characteristics of Good Nutritional Care ’, principles of which were subsequently enshrined in regulatory standards, and the ‘Department of Health 2007 Nutrition Action Plan ’ containing a mandate for the ‘Need for Nutrition Education Project’. NNEdPro was formed in 2008 with fellowship funding awarded by the National Institute of Health Research to two founding members in Cambridge, and an educational award from Abbott Nutrition to the BDA. Since then, NNEdPro has evolved from a project, through a multifaceted programme to a Global Institute for Food, Nutrition and Health.

< Our Work page Global Nutrition Observatory for Medical Nutrition Education (GNOME) Initiative SUPPORT Initiative managed by NNEdPro in partnership with PAN The Global Nutrition Observatory for Medical Nutrition Education (GNOME) initiative marks a major milestone in global efforts to strengthen nutrition education for healthcare professionals. Building upon the success of the NEPHELP (Nutrition Education Policy for Health Professionals) project, GNOME serves as a global hub for evidence generation, knowledge sharing, and capacity building in medical nutrition education. While NEPHELP empowered healthcare professionals with practical tools and highlighted the urgent need for improved nutrition training in curricula, GNOME takes the next step by: Conducting annual surveys across NNEdPro’s 10 Regional Networks (over 1,000 members globally) to capture the state of medical nutrition education. Generating evidence to drive policy and curriculum change, led jointly by our US and UK & Ireland Regional Networks. Ensuring medical nutrition education remains a global priority, directly impacting healthcare workforce training and patient care. In a shared commitment to advance this mission, NNEdPro Global Institute for Food, Nutrition and Health and PAN International each pledged an initial £5,000 to initiate and implement the early phases of GNOME. This joint contribution forms the foundation for establishing a sustainable framework for the Observatory’s activities and for launching its first global survey cycle. Building on this seed funding, GNOME is now seeking to secure additional donors and strategic partners to expand its global reach, strengthen regional capacities, and ensure the long-term sustainability of this landmark initiative. What the Joint Pledge has Enabled The launch of the GNOME Initiative at the NNEdPro Global Food, Nutrition and Health International Summit 2025 in Scotland (10th to 13th December 2025). The St Andrews Satellite Event on Medical Nutrition Education on 13 December 2025, featuring active participation from both NNEdPro and PAN International. A live peer review during the NNEdPro Global Food, Nutrition and Health International Summit 2025 of the GNOME global survey design and implementation plan. The development and promotion of the GNOME microsite , including digital letters of support and joint visibility for both organisations. The establishment of a framework for future data collection , regional reports, and the first Global Observatory Report. PAN International and NNEdPro Global Institute provided formal letters of support and contribute to ongoing visibility efforts across communication platforms. New Year Plans and Road Ahead Beginning January 2026 , both organisations will jointly explore new fundraising and donour opportunities to expand GNOME’s reach and impact . Both NNEdPro and PAN International r eaffirm their shared commitment to scientific independence, transparency, and integrity in all collaborative and fundraising activities related to GNOME. Through this joint partnership, NNEdPro and PAN International are uniting their global networks, expertise, and resources to ensure that nutrition education remains a global priority , empowering the healthcare workforce to meet the nutrition challenges of the future. Invitation to Support Donate Find Out More We are delighted that GNOME is entering a collaboration with BMC Medical Education, and in 2026, together we will produce a special issue on medical nutrition education, with the GNOME leadership serving as Guest Editors. We also expect that outputs from the GNOME Initiative will be published in our partner journals, BMJ NPH and CABI Food and Nutrition Science, amongst others. OBjectives Global Observatory Establish GNOME as the international platform to collect, analyse, and disseminate data on nutrition in medical curricula.

< Our Work page forum for democratising food & nutrition: A Knowledge & Advocacy Initiative Forum managed by Lead Supporter Building on the momentum of the 10th International Summit on Food, Nutrition & Health in 2024 , Democratising and Decolonising Food and Nutrition: From Science to Society , we have established this forum—an action-driven, globally connected hub for knowledge and advocacy dedicated to decolonising and democratising food and nutrition knowledge. The forum serves as a collaborative space for researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and communities. It ensures equitable access to evidence-based knowledge amplifies underrepresented voices and reshapes global food systems through informed advocacy and capacity-building. With an international presence, the forum will bridge the divide between the Global North-South, fostering regional and international partnerships to address the systemic inequities in food and nutrition. Through a combination of digital learning resources, training programmes, and policy advocacy, we aim to empower stakeholders at all levels—from grassroots organisations to global institutions—to build more inclusive, just, and sustainable food systems. This initiative is more than just a knowledge repository and advocacy effort—it is a platform for action , driving meaningful change in how food and nutrition knowledge is produced, shared, and applied to create lasting impact.
