Course Overview

As we age, our bodies start to function differently, and we become more vulnerable and susceptible to diseases and illnesses. Our nutritional needs also change as we grow older, and it becomes imperative that we follow an appropriate diet to preserve our overall health. If you are a caregiver for an older person, it is your responsibility to take care of their nutritional needs and offer the right dietary guidance. And that is just what the CARE: Nutrition in Ageing programme will help you with.

The CARE: Nutrition in Ageing online course will enhance your knowledge about care practice, healthy ageing, and nutritional requirements for the elderly. You will learn about the role nutrition plays in preventing disease, and how a person’s social setting can impact their eating behaviour. You will receive tips, tricks, and tools from healthcare professionals and experts throughout the course.

The Imperial College London has developed the CARE: Nutrition in Ageing training. The programme does not follow a routine and can be completed comfortably in four short weeks if you study around two to four hours a week. The course is introductory and falls under the food and nutrition domain.
