About the webinar:
Hospital malnutrition continues to impact recovery, muscle function, and length of stay across acute care. In this webinar, Professor Emanuele Cereda and Associate Professor Emma Ridley will explore the benefits of high-energy, high-protein oral nutrition supplements (ONS) for hospitalised patients. Drawing on new evidence from a systematic review and randomised controlled trial, they will examine the impact of ONS on energy and protein intake, body composition, and key clinical outcomes, including mortality. The session will also consider the role of early initiation of ONS from admission. You’ll learn how to interpret and apply this evidence to optimise the timing and delivery of oral nutrition support, with practical strategies to strengthen care across hospital settings.
