Do you know how much protein your older patients should be eating? How do you know if your patient is eating enough?  What strategies can you use to enhance poor appetite? How good is the hospital food, and what role do you have to play at mealtimes? 

This interactive session will be hosted by Dr Adrienne Young (PhD, Advanced Accredited Practicing Dietitian) and Prof Alison Mudge (PhD, General Physician and Clinical Director Education and Teaching) will provide practical and evidence-based solutions for all health professionals to help improve nutrition for older adults.
