Jorja's thesis titled: "Malnutrition
in subacute care" was ratified by the Graduate Research Steering Committee on Tuesday 26th January 2016.
A lecturer in the Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, Jorja's research provided a comprehensive overview of malnutrition, its causes and impact, sub-acute care and a review of some relevant interventions.
Jorja addressed an important public health issue in Australia, namely identification of factors related to malnutrition in subacute care (also
known as rehabilitation hospitals) and an investigation of how changes to the food service in hospitals can influence dietary intake in this high risk group.
We offer our sincere thanks to all the academic and professional staff involved in assisting Jorja achieve this wonderful result.
