As an EFAD Learning member, you will have free access to our flexible and self-directed courses developed for all career stages from students to experienced dietitians. Each course has educational resources developed by our international experts that bring practical and real-world experience to each topic. Three new online courses are now available and part of the EFAD Learning Library:

EFAD urges nutritional care to be the topic of focus at WHO Regional Committee Europe meeting
|
|
|
A call to embed nutritional care into the prevention and control of Non-Communicable Diseases was the message EFAD made in its statement at the 72nd session of the WHO Regional Committee meeting for Europe. The statement was co-signed by 10 other European Organisations. Nutrition interventions improve clinical and socioeconomic outcomes as well as health-related quality of life and therefore should be integrated in policies and interventions taken to address NCDs. Every European citizen must have access to nutritional care. Here is a video message from Annemieke van Ginkel-Res, Honorary President of the European Federation of the Associations of Dietitians (EFAD) to explain more. EFAD also joined other statements made at the 3-day meeting, on the importance of integrating Behavioural & Cultural Insights, the WHO Digital Health Action Plan, the European Alcohol Framework, and recommendations on Obesity. In 2018 EFAD was accredited to the WHO Europe as a non-state actor. This allows us to improve further collaboration at a European level and work maybe work towards better health across Europe. Read all the statements.
