Course description
This professional development course is designed to enhance your skills, confidence and competence as a Dietitian working to support children with feeding difficulties. It has been developed to consolidate and advance your dietetic assessment and intervention skills, as well as extend your scope to offer you knowledge and skills in the transdisciplinary feeding space.
Many courses in paediatric feeding are developed by non-Dietitian Healthcare Professionals. This course has been developed by a Dietitian exclusively for Dietitians. This means that all the information provided to you will best support your learning and understanding through a Dietitian's lens.
It will help you to understand how to assess your own personal scope of practice in paediatric feeding so that you know your scope within a paediatric feeding team to support the best outcomes for your clients. It will assist you to know when you can take the lead as a feeding therapist and when it is timely for other healthcare professionals to be taking the lead to support a client to achieve their goals. It will provide you with models to understand not only the ‘what’ of eating, but the ‘how’, ‘where’, ‘why’ and ‘who with’. This approach to your clinical practice will assist you to work effectively with families to support achievement of their goals.
The full course will run over three live sessions and will be facilitated online so you can attend from wherever you are located. Please note, the live workshop sessions will be recorded and available to course participants for a 60-day period following the final workshop.
The course will include interactive case studies, further readings, ideas for resources and further learning and development recommendations to support your clinical practice.
