What you will learn on this course

Our diet and nutrition can play a key part in staying healthy, with so many options for food and drink it can be a hard task maintaining a balance. More vulnerable people in the community and those in care require help to achieve this, so the Skills For Care team added this to the Care Certificate.

You will learn:

Malnutrition, risks of bad diets and potential health problems
Person-centred care and supporting people
Calories, different types of energy and how the body uses them
Bodyweight and how nutrition affects it
Nutrition and hydration for the more vulnerable people

All of our training courses are diligently planned in order to adhere to the relevant teaching regulations. With regular, thorough checks on our course material, we make sure that we’re only teaching the essentials.
