Malnutrition Awareness Week

We are thrilled to announce that, in collaboration with the Malnutrition Task Force, BAPEN is launching the first ever UK Malnutrition Awareness Week, which will be taking place in October this year. At BAPEN, we strive to raise awareness of malnutrition and we work tirelessly to advance the nutritional care of those at risk from malnutrition in the wider community. During the week we will be aiming to address some of the myths and misconceptions about malnutrition, and improve awareness of the symptoms, impact and risk factors. One of the things we aim to do is to raise awareness of our self-screening tool which we believe should be more widely used. Watch this space for more details and get involved when the week comes around!

News about Data Collection Week

Our quarterly Nutritional Care Tool Data Collection Weeks have proven to be effective methods of gaining data which can help to have an impact on a national scale. By measuring various steps of nutritional care, from screening, all the way through to overall patient experience, we can refine our support for patients, carers and healthcare professionals. We have decided to move the last Data Collection Week of this year to October to tie it in with Malnutrition Awareness Week, so all the more reason to get involved!
