SEMINAR 8: Planning and running nutritional care in hospitals

Room:

Uranie

Facilitator:

Speakers:

Abstract:

 

Context:

Nutrition at the hospital concerns every single patient and should involve any caregivers as it is a multi-disciplinary approach. In practice, nutrition support for the patient can be sometimes erratic due to the difficulty to work together around the patient. In this context, the hospital Pharmacist should/can be the one key actor. For this purpose, the hospital pharmacist must be able to choose nutrition therapy for specific conditions (elderly, cancer care…).The seminar will explore the role of the hospital pharmacist in selecting the most relevant nutrition product and clinical pharmacist to ensure  patients receive the most suitable nutrition to assist in their progress.

Teaching Goals:

The presentation will focus on:

  • demonstrating that nutrition support is critical for the patient
  • demonstrating the role of the clinical pharmacist
  • adapting the best administration route of nutrition for the patient

Learning objectives:

At the end of the seminar, delegates should be able to:

  • assess the nutritional status of the patients
  • prescribe the most appropriate nutrition to the patient
  • select the nutrition products in the Hospital Drug Formulary according to patient needs
