About the webinar:
This webinar, presented by dietitians Dr Lee-anne Chapple and Dr Kate Fetterplace, will provide an overview of the evidence for nutrition support practices of critically ill adults admitted to an Australian Intensive Care Unit for management of COVID-19. Key recommendations for nutrition therapy and the evidence on which they are based will be discussed. Lee-anne and Kate will also have a practical discussion about how to implement these recommendations into practice.
