The primary objective of this workshop is to elevate participants’ knowledge and proficiency in effectively implementing the Nutrition Care Process and Terminologies (NCPT). Throughout the workshop, participants will engage in interactive sessions designed to deepen their understanding of NCPT principles and application.

Participants will gain hands-on experience in utilising NCPT through dietetics clinical case discussions. The workshop also aims to foster a collaborative learning environment, encouraging participants to share insights, best practices, and strategies for optimising the integration of NCPT into their professional practices.

Objectives

At the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:

• Apply critical thinking in the application of the NCP (nutrition assessment, nutrition diagnosis, nutrition intervention, monitoring and evaluation).
