Welcome to the
website of the Nutrition and Health Conference!
This event is designed to provide health professionals and
opinion leaders in nutrition with the latest information about the health
effects of nutrition on health and in disease with highly practical
yet scientifically sound information for daily practice.
Continuing accumulation of scientific evidence demonstrates
that nutrition is one of the most important determinants of health for the
individual and that specific nutrition habits can significantly decrease
the overall risk of several chronic diseases.
In addition nutrition management of certain diseases can help
improve quality of life and in many cases outcome.
Nutrition has a vital part to play in achieving several local, national and international
health targets including the prevention and improved management of
cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, malnutrition to name but a few.
Health professionals across the multidisciplinary team are building nutrition care into
their practice - never before has nutrition and health been higher on the healthcare agenda.
All health professionals are now actively encouraged to help patients
follow recognised dietary and lifestyle guidelines so that lives can be
saved and budgets reduced.
However, its not always easy sifting out the “important evidence based messages”
from the nonsense!
 The 8th Nutrition and Health Conference will give an overview
of the current consensus, latest findings with an outlook on future
developments regarding the impact of nutrition on various aspects of
health. As ever, it will include highly practical “take home messages”.
This years exciting programme is currently being finalised. We
welcome your suggestions for speakers and topics. Please email
with your suggestion,
topic and speaker highlighting your name, job title and place of work.
This year’s conference will be located at
Olympia Conference centre in the heart of Kensington, London. It
will be taking place on Friday and Saturday 23rd-24th November
2007
This conference is the ideal meeting
place for everybody directly involved with food and health – a chance
to meet with the experts, colleagues with similar issues, gather resources
and meet with industry and retailers at the exhibition.
And don’t forget the seasonal shopping from one of
London’s trendiest areas!
We hope to see you there.
