In this course, faculty will describe the relationship between malnutrition and sarcopenia, and the impact on treatment outcomes for people diagnosed with cancer; discuss the role of nutrition and exercise in cancer prehabilitation and throughout the cancer journey; review nutritional requirements of patients with cancer and the evidence for use of high protein, beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) and vitamin D.

In this course, you’ll identify the multifactorial aetiology of frailty, including malnutrition and sarcopenia as major risk factors; describe the factors that contribute to malnutrition in oncology and the impact of muscle loss in treatment and recovery; explain the importance of functional parameters and introduce practical tools for screening and diagnosing muscle loss; and describe interventions to support and improve muscle health in clinical practice. Originally presented live on November 22, 2022.

In this course, the faculty will describe diagnoses, conditions, and situations where peptide-feeding may be indicated; review how to recognise and appraise the heterogeneity of patient groups; explain the nutrient profile and composition of peptide feeds and their relevance to patient groups; and discuss how peptide feeding can support nutrition using practical case studies. Originally presented as a live webinar on September 15, 2022.

In this course, Mauro Fisberg, MD, PhD will review the current definition and prevalence of feeding difficulties in children >1 year of age; examine risk factors for feeding difficulties; identify potential nutritional consequences; and discuss management strategies for feeding difficulties. Originally presented as a live webinar on June 7, 2022.

In this course, Julia McAdam, RGN, PGDip, MA, will discuss the impact of malnutrition and loss of muscle for oncology patients; identify practical ways to assess malnutrition and muscle mass and function; introduce the importance of nutrition as a key part of prehabilitation; and explain the nutritional needs of malnourished oncology patients. Originally presented as a live webinar on March 23, 2022.

In this course, the faculty will discuss the physio-chemical and functional properties of fibre; review the importance of the quality of fibre; assess the benefits of fibre; and highlight the shortfall of fibre intake in children & the misconceptions associated with the use of fibre-based feeds. Originally presented as a live webinar on March 24, 2022.

In this course, Philip Atherton, PhD will describe the importance of muscle in patients with respiratory disease; explain how muscle is lost, the detrimental consequences of muscle loss, and why maintaining and rebuilding muscle can improve outcomes for these subgroups; and review nutritional interventions to support patients in maintaining muscle. Originally presented as a live webinar on May 4, 2022.

In this course, Judith Ashcroft, RD will describe multimodal prehabilitation and key interventions to improve cancer patient outcomes; discuss the importance of muscle and sarcopenia assessments in cancer patients; and demonstrate the impact of multimodal prehabilitation through an example from Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (LUHFT). Originally presented as a live webinar on May 18, 2022.

In this course, Adrian Slee, PhD, BSc (Hons), R Nutr will describe the pathophysiology of muscle loss during sarcopenia and frailty; identify key nutrients that may help to address sarcopenia and frailty; and assess the impact of other factors that may affect muscle mass. Originally presented as a live webinar on April 27, 2022.

In this course, Richie Kirwan will review the impact of muscle mass on chronic disease risk and quality of life; describe the results of a recent meta-analysis pertaining to the role of protein supplementation with resistance exercise on muscle mass; and explain Mendelian randomisation and recent findings of the role of serum vitamin D on muscle mass. Originally presented as a live webinar on May 11, 2022.

In this course, you’ll learn ways to estimate energy, protein and fluid requirements using the PENG Pocket Guide to Clinical Nutrition; estimate nutritional requirements in different patient groups; and how to apply these nutritional requirement estimations in both the acute and community settings. Originally presented as a live webinar on 7 October 2021.
