Common signs and symptoms of malnutrition.
Guidance around supporting individuals using Food First advice.
Utilising simple tools such as armbands to identify at risk individuals.
Gaining awareness in promoting good nutrition and hydration in older adults.
This training is open to Small Ideas, Big Impact grant holders and applicants, NHS, Local Authority, Community Carers, Volunteers, Voluntary Sector staff and other interested individuals who work in the community to support older people.
