Improving Community Adult Nutrition (I-CAN) E-learning training
This training package has been designed to support carers and staff looking after adult patients aged 18 years and over living in community settings to support them with their nutritional care. We hope you find this training useful, and it equips you with the skills and knowledge to support patients with their nutrition and hydration needs within the remit of your role.
Course content
The aim of this course is to provide you with knowledge on how to screen and manage malnutrition for adults in community settings. The training also covers additional factors which influence nutritional care needs such as hydration, skin health, oral health/dentition, allergies, and bowel health.
This training package contains six bitesize PowerPoint presentations. We have designed this course to enable you to work through the presentations in short sections and use our checklist below to help you keep track of your progress.
To support your learning, we have created a fictional patient called Ethel whom we refer to throughout our presentations.
Certificate of completion
Once you have completed all six PowerPoints, please complete the I-CAN evaluation and knowledge check questionnaire. Once completed, you can print the certificate which appears when you have submitted your questionnaire. Please add your name and date of completion for your record.
Thank you.
