Nutrition Action Plan

The Nutrition Action Plan sets out the five key priorities for action, which were agreed by the Nutrition Summit stakeholders:

1. To raise awareness of the link between nutrition and good health and that malnutrition can be prevented.
2. To ensure that accessible guidance is available across all sectors and that the most relevant guidance is appropriate and user-friendly.
3. To encourage nutritional screening for all people using health and social care services, paying particular attention to those groups that are known to be vulnerable.
4. To encourage provision and access to relevant training for front-line staff and managers on the importance of nutrition for good health and nutritional care.
5. To clarify standards and strengthen inspection and regulation.
