The aim of this module is to develop students’ understanding of the impact of clinical conditions on nutritional status. Students will explore the principles, strengths and limitations of nutritional assessment, nutritional diagnosis, nutritional interventions, patient/client monitoring and outcome evaluation in a range of clinical conditions requiring dietetic management in the acute care setting. The module will equip students to manage a range of nutrition problems that require dietetic intervention in the acute care setting. Coursework in this module includes appraisal of a topic in clinical nutrition, a short question assessment, an individual care plan for a designated condition and a group-based presentation on a specified case study. This is a core module for the MSc Clinical Nutrition and Dietetics and successful completion is a prerequisite for the PHPS40930 Practice Placement (acute) module.
