A 2015 study found that the cost of malnutrition in the UK was estimated to be £19.6 billion per year, accounting for about 30 per cent of hospital admissions and 35 per cent of care home admissions. Despite of this, many doctors are still unable to give comprehensive nutritional advice to their patients and help them understand the impact of food on their health.
It is now more important than ever to meet this education gap in the medical curricula and help medical students and trainees develop their skills and knowledge in nutrition education. Join us as experts shed light on the importance and effective provision of nutrition education for future doctors.
Learning objectives include:
- Understand the benefits of improved nutrition education for future doctors.
- Value the impact that nutrition-savvy doctors can have on their patients and public health.
- Know the principles of effective nutrition education.
- Be inspired to lobby for greater nutrition education in medical curricula.
There are 10 free places available to medical students only. To take advantage of this offer, please email the Food & Health Forum on food@rsm.ac.uk

Folic fortification and preconception care: Why? How much? When?
The government is currently reviewing the results of a recent consultation on plans to fortify flour and bread in the UK with folic acid. This meeting will review the positive and negative health implications of this change, discuss the genetic factors at play and explore the field of human fertility issues in light of this proposal.
