Sophie Murray, Avante Care and Support’s Head of Nutrition and Hydration will be a guest speaker at the NACC South East Seminar and Training Day, on Friday 29th November 2013.
Sophie’s topic of discussion will be headed ‘The Journey to Nutritious Food and Nutritional Care’ and she will share her journey, with successes and pitfalls, as well as some first-hand nutritional tips. Expectations are now greater than ever, for nutritional homemade foods when caring for the elderly and Sophie’s experience as an expert in the field of nutrition, a nurse and former restaurant owner is invaluable.
Only a few months ago Sophie was delighted to win the Hydration Award 2013, at the NACC Annual Conference and Exhibition, National Awards gala dinner. This event honours the teams and individuals that have demonstrated real excellence, dedication, innovation and achievements throughout the year.
