• Apply the Nutrition Care Process within an ICF and biopsychosocial lens for adults and young people with disability presenting with clinical and psychosocial complexity.
• Integrate ICAN assessments and ICF principles into nutrition-related care within the context of the Nutrition Care Process yet encompassing broad principles of the support needs of people with disabilities.
• Differentiate and select evidence-based interventions from PEN and current guidelines for common disability-related nutrition problems.
• Plan and document safe, inclusive care across settings and funding systems including reasonable adjustments to practice.
• Collaborate effectively within MDTs and carers, using shared decision-making and trauma-informed communication.
• Implement behaviour-change strategies consistent with Behavioural Support reports, psychology and other allied health tailored to cognitive, sensory, and environmental needs.
• Manage risk, consent, safeguarding, and duty-of-care boundaries, escalate appropriately, and audit quality and safety using rapid PDSA cycles.

Over 4 modules, this course provides information, resources, recommended reading and case studies to enhance your active learning experience.

Module 1 is called 'Understanding complexity through a disability lens'. The aim of this module is to deepen your understanding of the ICF biopsychosocial model. You will learn how to integrate the Nutrition Care Process (NCP) within the ICF framework to strengthen clinical reasoning, prioritise nutrition diagnoses, and design interventions that support meaningful improvements in health, function, and participation.

Module 2 is called 'Effective collaboration'. The aim of this module is to equip dietitians working in disability settings to collaborate confidently within multidisciplinary teams using clear communication, defined roles, and practical systems that reduce risk and improve implementation.

Module 3 is called 'Creating meaningful change'. The aim of this module is to build advanced dietetic capability in creating meaningful change for people with disability by using behaviour change models, behaviour support information, co-designed care planning, staff training, and practical monitoring tools to translate nutrition recommendations into everyday practice.

Module 4 is called 'Working through complex advanced practice scenarios'. The aim of this module is to develop advanced dietetic practice in complex disability settings by strengthening clinicians’ ability to identify and prioritise risk, implement safe and effective care, and recognise when escalation is required. It focuses on translating clinical knowledge into real-world, high-intensity environments, where outcomes depend on both clinical decision-making and system-level implementation.
