This DVD offers advice and training tips on the preparation and provision of food for service users, as outlined in the National Minimum Standards. It features 'Care Chef of the Year 2007', Patrick Moore, and tackles problems of what constitutes a good diet, nutritional requirements of older people, encouraging service users to enjoy their food, assisting people with dementia to eat and drink and calculating the body mass index. The training material has been constructed to help carers achieve the Skills for Care knowledge set on nutrition and well-being and has been mapped against other induction and educational standards, including S/NVQ Level 2 and 3 in Health and Social Care.
