Improving Nutritional Care
Monday 24th May 2010 – Central London

Capita’s National Improving Nutritional Care Conference brings together experts from across the healthcare sector to examine how nutrition can be improved in hospitals and the wider community.

The importance of good nutritional care cannot be underestimated. It is reported that around £7 billion a year could be saved if patients were properly nourished or hydrated while in hospital and care homes. This timely event will ensure your organisation is at the forefront of providing excellent nutritional care.
