Dietetic management and pancreatic cancer
Are you a health professional supporting patients with pancreatic cancer to manage their diet and digestive symptoms? Secure your place at our free, virtual dietetic management event to hear from specialist dietitians as they guide you through essential principles, practical tips and answer your questions.
During the session we’ll explore nutritional assessment and nutritional management, including pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI) and the use of pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) to manage PEI. We’ll also consider how dietetic management may change throughout a patient’s treatment journey, including the impact of treatment.
We will hear from someone with lived experience, share case studies and provide key takeaways to bring the theory to life, helping you as health professionals provide the best support to your patients.
