Support for Care Homes
Do you need nutrition training for care staff, Foodservice staff, and clinical staff?
I can help with that!
I have worked as a dietitian in care homes since 2013 covering both clinical and foodservice.
I have written and audited residential care menus for care companies and small independents.
I know the value of a staff team that is upskilled and engaged with how to deliver best nutrition to residents.
Examples of training I offer:
Clinical staff:
