Gratitude as vast as the Danube! 🙌

Gratitude as vast as the Danube! 🙌 Thank you to all who made the 14th EFAD Congress in Budapest, Hungary a remarkable success, moving forward into the new era. 

Huge thanks to all who worked hard to make this happen, our exceptional speakers, and the oral & poster presenters who showcased their groundbreaking research on nutrition and dietetics across the lifespan.

Big cheers to our enthusiastic attendees who brought energy and enthusiasm to this event, making it truly special.  And a shoutout to the dedicated students from ENDietS, reminding us they are the future of dietetics!  Your passion is our compass. 

It's a date!  We're thrilled to announce that we'll be renewing the magic in person in two years' time at Malmo, Sweden. Till then, let's stay connected and keep the scientific conversations alive! 🤝

 

🎃Save the Date! PPC webinar: Two Sides of the Same Coin - A Dietetic Case Study Comparison

🎃 Join us for a spooktacular webinar titled "Two Sides of the Same Coin: A Dietetic Case Study Comparison" organized by EFAD's Professional Practice Committee. This webinar will take place on October 31st at 6 pm CET, and we promise, no tricks, just treats!

Our focal points for this webinar are:

  1. Systematic Methods: We will delve into the Nutrition Care Process (NCP) and the Dietetic Care Process (DCP) as two systematic approaches to providing nutrition care. The NCP, originating in the United States, has been embraced by numerous countries worldwide. Conversely, the DCP, developed in the Netherlands, is in use across some European countries.
  2. Standardized Language: Both the NCP and DCP are closely linked to standardized language frameworks, specifically NCPT and DCPT (which includes ICF), for precise documentation.

In this case study, we'll take a haunted house tour through Mr. Patient's data. Watch in awe as we reveal how his information can be recorded and coded with both systems. Discover the tricks and treats, strengths, and dark secrets of these two approaches in real-life dietetic practice.

👻 Don't ghost us this Halloween night!  🦇🕸️🕷️

Changing the global obesity narrative to recognize and reduce weight stigma: A position statement from the World Obesity Federation

Weight stigma, defined as pervasive misconceptions and stereotypes associated with higher body weight, is both a social determinant of health and a human rights issue. It is imperative to consider how weight stigma may be impeding health promotion efforts on a global scale.

The World Obesity Federation (WOF) convened a global working group of practitioners, researchers, policymakers, youth advocates, and individuals with lived experience of obesity to consider the ways that global obesity narratives may contribute to weight stigma.

Don't miss the ESDN Oncology webinar: Folate and folic acid during chemotherapy 

We are pleased to invite you to an insightful webinar organised by ESDN Oncology, that aims to delve into the fundamentals of folate metabolism and its significance in the context of cancer treatment. Folate, along with its synthetic variant folic acid, plays a crucial role as B-vitamins. However, the extent to which these vitamins, obtained from dietary sources or through supplements, influence treatment tolerance in cancer patients remains an area of uncertainty.

Join us as we present compelling data derived from a comprehensive systematic literature review on folate and folic acid in relation to chemotherapy-induced toxicities. These findings shed light on the intriguing and contrasting roles of folate derivatives in antifolate- versus fluoropyrimidine-induced toxicities.

Towards sustainable food consumption - the SAPEA report

For Europe to achieve its health and sustainability goals, the way we produce and consume food has to change. Our current food system has a major impact on the environment, and poor quality diets are also linked to risk of disease, obesity and overweight. To address these issues, our diets need to shift towards more plant-based ingredients, rich in vegetables, fruits, wholegrains and pulses. 
The SAPEA report specifically addresses that policies should focus on the whole food environment, anywhere where food is obtained, eaten, and discussed.
