The course covers all aspects of Nutrition and the Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST), including practical application in a classroom or virtual environment.

Why Is It Important?

Assessing an individual’s nutritional needs is a fundamental aspect of healthcare. Providing appropriate nutrition, including nutritional supplements and parenteral nutrition, is critical in maintaining an individual’s health and wellbeing.

The Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST) is a five-step screening tool designed to identify adults who are at risk of malnutrition, undernutrition, or obesity. The tool provides a systematic approach for screening and managing nutritional risk. Moreover, it is important to consider individuals’ preferences, religious and cultural backgrounds when providing food and drink.

By having a thorough understanding of tools like the MUST, healthcare professionals can ensure that they provide optimal care to their patients and help prevent malnutrition and dehydration, which are significant risk factors for poor health outcomes.
