Survey for dietitians about ESPEN guidelines

The EFAD-ESPEN Working Group was established by EFAD in 2019 to increase dietetic collaboration with the ESPEN community.

The working group has developed a questionnaire to gather insight into which source of information European Dietitians and Dietetic Students use within their dietetic practice, how dietitians use the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) guidelines, and if the ESPEN guidelines should have an addendum for dietitians that focuses on the practical implementation of the ESPEN guidelines.

Your Participation Matters: Deadline June 1, 2024
