You will use hospital food service system to provide tailored therapeutic diets to inpatients; begin to provide nutrition education and counselling to patients; participate in multi-disciplinary team management; and where relevant, participate in discharge planning for patients. You will also begin to evaluate nutrition management plans through follow-up and nutritional monitoring of patients.
