CNS/D 532 Nutrition in Practice (2018)

The aim of this module is to help students understand how the nutrition profession has developed from its inception to date. The module will encourage students to explore the roles and influences of legislation, professional and regulatory bodies and politics in the context of nutrition practice.  By the time students take this module they will have explored a number of different aspects of nutrition practice; this module enables students to engage 50 hours of online work experience; encourages them to draw on their own experiences and those of their peers; and to identify an area of nutrition practice of personal interest and consider what the future opportunities and challenges may be for that area of nutrition practice. The module aims to introduce students to an expanded range of models of reflection to further develop their reflective skills to help them explore the type of role they may take in nutrition practice.
