Description
This CPD certified e-learning course is aimed at care staff and nursing staff working in a care home setting. It may also be useful for other healthcare professionals who have involvement with care homes such as medicines optimisation teams, care home pharmacists, PCN and practice pharmacists and GPs.
The course is broken down into five modules including:
- Identification of malnutrition
- Management of malnutrition
- Dementia
- Nutrition in end-of-life care
- Hydration
There are also two practical case studies to support the learning.
The course should take around 2 hours in total to complete, but we recommend that it is taken in stages and not in a single sitting.
Quizzes at the end of each module will test understanding and recap on key learning points, and a pass mark of 70% is required in the final assessment to complete the course and receive a certificate.
