XNH348 Medical Nutrition Therapy Counselling and Practice 3

This unit follows on from XNB346 (pre-requisite) and is run concurrently with XNB347 (co-requisite). These units will extend your application of the nutrition care process and further develop your clinical reasoning skills to prioritise nutrition care in increasingly complex clinical cases. Through the development of your written and verbal communication skills, this unit will enable you to translate technical information into practical advice to patients and communicate this with members of a multidisciplinary team. The opportunity to experience some practice based activity will assist you in familiarising yourself with the nature and operation of clinical and healthcare settings which may include hospitals and nursing homes, private practice, foodservice and community public health facilities.
