The British Association of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (BAPEN) has invested in updating its Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) website and it is now live (www.bapen.org.uk/e-learning-portal)
The new updated VLE platform and range of e-learning modules it offers have been specifically designed to support the nutrition education of health professionals. The modules enable all healthcare professionals to learn the basics of disease related malnutrition, nutrition support and nutrition related ethics. They also meet the requirements of the curricula for the foundation and core medical training years. These modules are free to all those who work in the NHS.
