DIET AND NUTRITION AWARENESS

This training is designed to enable care staff in a range of settings to assist their clients in
choosing and orally consuming their food and drink. Delegates should come away from the

minerals and nutrients which they may require. Delegates will learn the ways in which to
vary their patients’ diet in order to help prevent illness as well as the effects which good and
