About this event

Older people are more at risk of a poor diet, and Covid-19 may have increased the risk of undernutrition.

Join our online session for professionals working with older adults living at home in Brighton & Hove, to understand the risk factors of undernutrition, ask the right questions, know how to spot the signs and be able to suggest ideas to help prevent it.

You’ll come away with a better understanding of nutrition for older people, including:

• Why preventing malnutrition/ weight loss is important
• How to use the nutrition wheel to help identify those likely to be at risk
• How to refer older people for specialist advice
• Key messages from the Eating Well as You Age guide
• How to fortify foods (cookery demonstration)
