Plant-based nutrition has been shown to have numerous health benefits, including reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, obesity and certain types of cancers. Despite these benefits, plant-based nutrition is often not prioritised in healthcare practice as most physicians and healthcare professionals receive limited education in this area.
 
This programme aims to bridge this gap by providing healthcare professionals such as physicians, nurses and dietitians with comprehensive knowledge on the latest research and development on plant-based nutrition in healthcare management.

Intended Learning Outcomes

On completion of the programme, students should be able to

1. critically evaluate the roles of plant-based nutrition on health, prevention and management of chronic diseases, aging and immunity;
2. examine the barriers in diet modification and devise evidence-based practical strategies to support clients/ patients to adopt a plant-based diet;
3. describe the impact of plant-based nutrition on the environment and planetary health; and
4. integrate and apply the latest sustainable food trends and foodservice guidelines in healthcare practice.

The programme aims to enable healthcare professionals to gain a critical understanding of the impact of nutrition and diet to prevent and manage diabetes. Students will apply knowledge gained and develop their skills to assist individuals with diabetes to implement evidence-based dietary recommendations to optimise their nutritional status and diabetic control.
