The event will tackle key issues and challenges in care catering, including The International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative, dispelling the myths surrounding food allergies, addressing confusions within the nutritional groups, and improving the mealtime experience for residents with a dementia.
Designed to update and offer new perspectives on the latest innovations, ideas, standards and guidelines relating to care catering, this year’s interactive programme features a mix of relevant and uplifting speakers, certified training workshops, live culinary demonstrations, one-to-one supplier meetings and supplier exhibition.
Delegates will be inspired by experts such as Eric Evers of the Canadian Society of Nutrition Management, Dr Ben Hanson of the University College London, Alexia Robinson of Love British Food and British Food Fortnight and Candice Brown, the 2016 Great British Bake Off winner.
Recognising the value of sharing ideas and best practice, the forum also connects care professionals through the frequent networking and entertainment opportunities across the two-day event.
With a choice of four practical, interactive workshops, delegates will gain essential guidance and insight to enhance their catering provision.
A series of culinary demonstrations will inspire delegates with new recipes and techniques tailored for the needs of those in care settings.
