Best Food Forward - For Health and Medical Professionals

Our Best Food Forward sessions for medics and healthcare professionals are theory-based, with over a quarter of the course dedicated to practical elements to bring theoretical content to life. This CPD-certified session fits within the working day and is based at The School of Artisan Food.

Here at Best Food Forward, we believe that food is everyone’s business within healthcare.  This session offers an opportunity to develop crucial knowledge and skills to understand better how food and nutrition relate to your role and build confidence in communicating simple nutrition messages to your patients. Together, we will explore how food impacts human health and the environment, barriers to eating well, practical food skills, behaviour change techniques and clinical case studies.
