📢 Our National Malnutrition Screening Survey is now live! By taking part before the end of the year, you’ll help us gather vital data to understand malnutrition across the UK - who is most at risk and how nutritional care is being managed. Take part: bit.ly/4obqhK0

We have developed an animation that explains how to use tools to help start conversations about eating well in later life, to help identify whether someone is at risk of undernutrition, and promote self-screening of older people in the community. Watch now bit.ly/3WnG7FM

We know that a large majority of malnourished people live in the community and as a result, may be hard to reach with services. @bapen.bsky.social has a self-screening tool that people can use themselves or with family to understand their risk. Find out more: bit.ly/3JazVOv

Malnutrition screening is quick and simple - helping teams spot risk and tailor nutrition care plans. It's important to remember that screening should be repeated, especially for those identified as at risk or moving between care settings. Help us spread the word this #UKMAW2025
