Online learning materials and case discussion facilitated by an experienced dietitian will promote essential knowledge and practical skills. Modules will provide the latest evidence on nutritional basics, weight management, diagnosis and management of food allergies and intolerances, food labelling, and early infant feeding recommendations.
