Spotlight on… Caring and nutrition Nutricia Advanced Medical Nutrition is proud to be working with Carers UK to help you make a positive difference to the life of the person you care for through good nutrition. Nutrition is an important but often hidden issue for carers and their families, with 60% of carers worrying about the nutrition of the person they care for. Spotlight on... Caring and nutrition People suffering from malnutrition are likely to experience a variety of health related problems which can increase their care needs. The vast majority of people at risk of malnutrition live in the community, either on their own or with their family, so making sure that carers have the advice and information they need about nutrition is a big issue for local communities. This booklet provides a series of tools and resources that can be used to highlight nutrition and find solutions to improve nutrition, prevent malnutrition and boost health and wellbeing and support carers to care. 20182303_SpotlightNutrition_FINAL_PRINT.pdf 1 20182303_SpotlightNutrition_FINAL_PRINT.pdf 1 20182303_SpotlightNutrition_FINAL_PRINT.pdf 1 14/06/2018 16:39:13 14/06/2018 16:38:37 14/06/2018 16:37:15 Download this booklet and find more information at carersuk.org/nutrition Nutricia Advanced Medical Nutrition specialises in the delivery of medical nutrition products and services for all who need it, spanning from the very young to the elderly.
