NUTRITION SUPPORT COURSE: A training course for
clinicians in practical nutritional support
STARS * * * * *
For me, (I had no post basic training in
Clinical Nutrition), this course created a
framework for my clinical practice and aided in
my professional development planning, clearly
identifying what I didn't know and what I needed
to know!!
- Kate Pickering.
Although primarily aimed at clinicians the
course is entirely suitable for nurses or
members of other disciplines with some previous
experience in nutrition support i.e. individuals
such as NNNG members
- Dr. Stroud.
~~NEW REVIEW~~
Topics covered: Gastroenterology, Surgery and
Intensive Care. An intensive course run from
Sat-Wed, includes lots of group work around case
studies, strong evidence base but teaches
practical management skills required to care for
patients requiring nutritional support. Opinion:
As the only nurse (one pharmacist and three
dietitians) I found this course initially
daunting but this settled and as a "long time"
nutrition nurse specialist found it the most
useful course that I have attended for some
time. It supported and advanced my care of
patients. I felt able to contribute as a nurse
but came away with loads of re-found and new
knowledge. Word of caution: Feel this course by
its intensity and aim for medics would be more
suitable to those nurse specialist that have
been in post for a while and is perhaps not as
suitable as those new in post. - Gill McHattie,
Nutrition Nurse Specialist, Glasgow
