Putting the new Nutrition Guidelines for Cystic Fibrosis in Australia and New Zealand into practice using case studies

Thursday, November 30, 2017, 10.00am to 11.00am AEDT

The presentation will cover:

Andrea and Natalie present two case studies in cystic fibrosis describing how to put the new Nutrition Guidelines for Cystic Fibrosis in Australia and New Zealand into practice.

Case studies provide a sound basis for developing  problem-solving and clinical decision making skills. They can help organise and clarify difficult client situations and apply theory to our clinical practice.

Watching this presentation and completing the assessment can contribute towards assessable Continuing Professional Development hours.
