Overview
This course will cover the range of knowledge needed to appraise the topics within neonatal gastroenterology from the functions of the gastrointestinal tract to a knowledge of the goals of neonatal nutrition with understanding of current neonatal nutritional uncertainties and an appreciation of approaches to reduce uncertainties.
The course is part of a range of short courses spread throughout the academic year which are available both to 天美传媒 who are enrolled on the MSc Applied Paediatrics course and as stand-alone CPD programmes for all healthcare professionals.
By the end of the course, you will be able to:
- Construct an explanation of the links between the functions of the neonatal gastrointestinal tract and the goals of neonatal nutrition.
- Formulate a strategy for the management of neonatal nutritional uncertainties using evidence-based approaches.
- Critically assess and select the appropriate nutritional strategy to fulfil the goals of neonatal nutrition.
- Critique the current evidence base of nutritional strategies and recognise uncertainties.
- Compose effective strategies to communicate and explain to inexperienced staff or parents the uncertainties around neonatal nutrition.
