Dietetic Interns lead Malnutrition Awareness Week 2022 at Hamilton Health Sciences

This year at Hamilton Health Sciences, a group of dietetic interns worked to design Canadian Malnutrition Awareness Week, which took place October 3rd - 7th, as part of their population health rotation. The theme for Canadian Malnutrition Awareness Week for 2022 was “Malnutrition Care for All.” Using webinars, educational articles, interactive games, and positive interactions on wards and in staff areas, the interns educated healthcare professionals to understand the importance of identifying and treating malnutrition and to educate on the importance of nutrition related to a patient’s health outcomes.

Highlights from Malnutrition Awareness Week at Hamilton Health Sciences Include:

-Webinars:

-Travelling Caravans:

-Information Booth & Game:

-Food Service Presentations:

-General Nutrition Patient Hand Outs:

-Online Malnutrition Trivia:

-Articles:

We, the dietetic interns, feel that we had many successful interactions and have increased malnutrition awareness at Hamilton Health Sciences. As a group, we could not have asked for a more successful week and have learned a lot over the last 10 weeks.

Sincerely,

The Dietetic Interns
