This course focusses on dietary interventions for people affected by cancer. By the end of the course, you will be able to:

• Critically appreciate the perspective of people newly diagnosed with cancer regarding nutrition, and the advice they may receive from various sources, and assess the appropriate positioning and role of nutritional therapy within this context.
• Review and critically appraise evidence for pre-habilitation for people with a diagnosis of cancer
• Review and critically appraise the evidence, safety and appropriateness of dietary restriction around active treatment, including fasting and fasting mimicking diets, and other ‘metabolic restrictions;
• Understand and apply the evidence on microbiome impact and nutritional manipulation for people with a cancer diagnosis
• Critically apply a framework for the long-term use of ‘metabolic diets’ for long term use, in people living with cancer, addressing motivational challenges and maintain safe practice
• More effectively engage and influence other healthcare professions involved in caring for, and influencing, your client
