Empowering Care Through Nutrition and Hydration Course

Proper nutrition and hydration go beyond being mere requirements; they represent the pillars of one’s health, self-respect, and well-being.  At Shreeji Training, we offer a dedicated Nutrition and Hydration Course tailored for the education of carers, healthcare practitioners, and support workers on how to deliver safe, efficient, and person-centered care in nutritional support.

Whether you are a novice to care or need a refresher, this course will equip you with the skills to enhance health through food, beverages, and empathy.

Importance of Nutrition and Hydration

Food and water are fundamental to human life, and in care settings, these basic needs are often neglected due to hectic schedules or lack of effective communication. For older adults, disabled individuals, or those recuperating, dehydration, malnutrition, or improper feeding pose severe health risks.

This course enables you to offer care in a way that respects individual dignity and personal choice, ensuring the right nutrients are administered in the appropriate quantities and at the right timing.
