Special Educational Event: Understanding the needs of adolescent females in your clinical practice

Join us for this educational event with our special guest speaker Lorna Drivere-Davies, Head of Nutrition at Wild Nutrition.

Adolescent females are very often confused: they are neither large child or small adult and require highly specific nutritional considerations. In fact, adolescence continues till age 25.

Their needs are very often unappreciated and this is a special life phase characterised by rapid physical, mental and emotional development and growth.

Poor nutrition at this stage affects development at the present time but also sets up weakness and issues that can continue into their entire lifespan. Therefore here is an opportunity to strengthen our next generations. Lorna draws on not only her clinical practice but statistical data looking at adolescent nutrition.

Learning objectives:

• A introduction and deeper understanding of this special life phase - what is happening on a biological level and social level
