In agreement with BAPEN, you can now access the e-Learning module on Nutritional Screening using ‘MUST’ for free if you work in care homes in Greater Manchester.

BAPEN have agreed to make this freely accessible via our website to health and care staff working with older people in care homes.

In partnership with NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, BAPEN has developed an interactive e-Learning resource on nutritional screening using ‘MUST’. Designed for health and care staff working in hospitals, primary care and care homes, the three modules explain the causes and consequences of malnutrition, the importance of nutritional screening and how to screen using ‘MUST’.

The one available here has been designed for staff working in care homes. The others can be accessed on the BAPEN website: https://www.bapen.org.uk/e-learning-portal/nutritional-screening-using-must/introduction-to-must-e-learning-modules

Each module includes case studies and care plans appropriate for the work place and an online assessment together with the ability to print off certificates of achievement.

Key Features include:

  • Tailored case studies to meet staff needs and place of work
  • Interactive and online
  • Approximately 45 minutes on average to complete
  • End of course assessment and certificate of completion

Undertaking these modules will equip staff to play a key part in improving the nutritional care of their residents/patients/clients as well as ensure compliance with the Care Quality Commission regulations, national nutritional care standards and the NICE Quality Standard for Nutritional Support in Adults.
