  • Menu planning - updating or developing new menus to meet requirements and add variety 
  • Development of policy and systems for assessing, monitoring and managing malnutrition
  • Providing policy and guidelines for managing residents who have diabetes, are overweight or underweight or who need texture modified diets (from both a kitchen and ward perspective)
