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.

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).
