to look into inspections purpose, process, outcome and currency. This is the time to stop, reflect and review.
Recently hearing quite a bit about F&V intake & Cognitive Impairment (CI), thought to highlight our review showing that increased intake is associated with reduced risk of CI, however, there might be geographical influence...
In medical & health education, we need more nutritionists but Nutrition is every health professionals business. We need to recognise, strengthen, & enhance nutrition content of our health programmes.
