ABOUT

This advanced education session is designed for dietitians managing complex presentations of starvation and refeeding syndrome.

Participants will strengthen their ability to recognise, interpret, and manage high-risk scenarios, bridging theory with practical decision-making for safer, more confident nutritional care.
