Launch of Nutrition Education Videos for the Older Person

New resources to educate patients & families on the nutritional guidelines for Sarcopenia and Malnutrition management

These videos have been developed by 3 NCPOP Dietitians who are members of the Older Persons Special Interest Group of the Irish Nutrition & Dietetic Institute, with support from HSE SPARK. The first two videos launched to date are:

Sarcopenia and Nutrition

Malnutrition and the Older Person

These free to access videos are designed to support healthcare workers in providing evidence based information to the older person and their families. The purpose is to facilitate patient understanding of the important role of nutrition in managing these two conditions. It is envisioned that these videos may be shared as part of a one to one consultation, a group session or shared with a family member. They could also be shown on screen in a waiting area to raise awareness of Sarcopenia and Malnutrition in the older person.

Videos are also currently available at these Vimeo links:
