Promoting Good Nutrition

 

NIPEC was asked by former Chief Nursing Officer, Professor Martin Bradley “to lead a work programme to develop resources to support improvements of nutritional care in practice”; this followed on from the launch of the DHSSPS Promoting Good Nutrition Strategy on 9 March, 2011.  The Strategy was designed to build on “Get your 10 a day”, with the aim of improving the nutritional care of adults in all health and social care settings in Northern Ireland.

The Resource Development Steering Group was set up in February 2012 and comprises representatives from across the nutritional care pathway - dietetics, nursing, general practice, British Dietetic Association, Royal College of Nursing, education providers, DHSSPS and NIPEC Council.

 

The Resource Development Steering Group is chaired by Pauline Mulholland, Lead Dietician, South Eastern HSC Trust. For membership, agendas and action notes, please click here

It is intended that the Steering Group will meet for the last time on 18 June 2013 - to finalise

  • the template to support MUST in community and care home settings

  • guidance to support MUST in acute, community and care home settings

  • draft report

The report, templates and guidance will then be submitted to the Chief Nursing Officer, DHSSPS.
