CPD Nutrition and Hydration Course

This Nutrition and Hydration training course is CPD-certified and designed to give healthcare workers, support workers, and care staff the knowledge they need to promote better health and wellbeing. You’ll learn how to identify risks linked to poor nutrition, dehydration, and malnutrition, and how to put effective plans in place that encourage healthy living.

The course explores what makes a healthy diet, from balanced diets and required fluid intake to how dietary requirements vary with different medical conditions. You’ll see how creating a suitable diet plan or adjusting for diet restrictions can make a measurable difference to someone’s daily life.

We also look at the impact of medical diets and specific dietary needs, ensuring you can provide practical support while respecting individual preferences and person-centred care. By the end, you’ll be confident in spotting issues, understanding dietary needs, and taking action that helps individuals live well through improved nutrition and hydration.

Course Structure:

• Exploring and discussing factors that affect healthy choices for nutrition and hydration and the support that is needed to ensure that individuals have access to health advice that works for them.
• Comparing and contrasting ways that may be needed to ensure that those who need support due to conditions that limit their ability to eat, and drink are given suitable methods while still reserving their right to person centred care.
• Discuss conditions that could be significantly helped with better nutrition and hydration.
