Become a member of the Seniors Health Research Transfer Network’s Nutrition Community of Practice

The Seniors Health Research Transfer Network (SHRTN) has been operating a Nutrition Community of Practice (CoP) for the past year that has the following goals: 1) link current and future practitioners involved in the nutrition care of older adults; 2) promote evidence-based nutrition care for older adults by supporting knowledge exchange among experts, researchers, professional organizations, practitioners, and caregivers; 3) disseminate best practices in nutrition care to frontline caregivers; 4) advocate for innovation and best practices in the nutrition care of older adults; and 5) stimulate research on food and nutrition issues for older adults. The CoP hosted a webinar in Spring 2011 titled ‘Making the Most of Mealtimes’ and every month, reading lists on a number of topics related to nutrition and older adults are disseminated to CoP members.
