Be a part of Health Call's first-ever Network event!

Have you an interest in Nutrition and Dietetics? Do you work in Health and Social Care in the North East and North Cumbria? Are you interested in joining a network that can help support the delivery of care and improve outcomes of local people through the use of simple digital tools?

We are looking for Dietitians, Carers, Care homes, Nurses, Doctors and Third Sector Organisations to join our first Network event on the 17th of September at the Centre for Life, Newcastle upon Tyne. Delegates are invited to a networking lunch to kick off the day from 12 noon onwards, which will be followed by presentations from industry experts.

The event will be a great chance to understand more about Health Call, hear about developments across the country as well as solutions that have already been implemented to tackle undernutrition. The event will also offer delegates to identify and explore how technology can support your day to day work.

Malnutrition is a major issue in the U.K., but recent developments offer a whole range of new solutions that can deliver improved outcomes whilst creating high-quality, sustainable services. This event, the first one of its kind hosted by Health Call, will update delegates on what is already happening, what is being developed and what more is possible, for example, weight management, paediatrics and home enteral feeding.

For example, in Northern Ireland, a digital undernutrition service for care homes has improved the quality of care for residents through increased monitoring, resulting in more proactive treatment due to regular telephone reviews and the timely response of dietitians. This case study, as well as others, will be explored and breakout sessions will develop ideas on where else this technology can be used to support patients with nutritional needs.

Agenda will follow.
