Food, Fertility and Pregnancy: Monash University leads the way with on-line training for health professionals

Most Australian women’s diets before and during pregnancy do not meet nutrition recommendations.  This issue is further compounded by confusing dietary advice conveyed in the media, on the Internet, and by families regarding what women should and shouldn’t be eating. This advice can be confusing and costly (at best) or dangerous for the health of mother and child (at worst). 

The Department of Nutrition and Dietetics at Monash University has developed a flexible on-line course entitled Food, Fertility and Pregnancy for all health professionals in antenatal care.  The course has been designed to equip health professionals to answer their patient’s food and nutrition related questions regarding fertility and pregnancy.

• Is there a special fertility diet?

• Can foods determine the sex of a baby?

• Is folate the only nutrient I need to worry about during pregnancy?

• What foods can I eat when I am pregnant?

Women want confident, consistent and personalised advice regarding fertility and pregnancy.  Australian research has found that doctors, midwives and other health professionals are trusted sources of fertility and pregnancy advice.  Health professionals face many challenges when providing food and nutrition advice.  Such challenges include misinformation in the public, minimal training to provide nutrition advice, and a lack of confidence.  

The Food, Fertility and Pregnancy course aims to address these issues and to help health professionals identify when they should refer women for more specialised dietary advice.    

Information about the two week Food, Fertility and Pregnancy course is HERE.

Food as medicine - FREE online course

Professor Helen Truby and her team in the Department of Nutrition and Dietetics at Monash University have developed a free online course addressing the question- Can we use food as medicine?

Food has traditionally been used as medicine and this course looks to explore its current role in health and disease; take a closer look at nutrition science and how it guides us on what and how much to eat for health;  and how to apply evidenced-based nutrition knowledge to guide food choices.

This course is designed for anyone with an interest in food, nutrition and health and does not require previous knowledge or experience in science or health studies.  This course would also be of interest to medical and healthcare professionals looking to upskill their knowledge in food and nutrition, and see what the current evidence is for using foods to improve health.

There are two Food as Medicine courses running in 2016, starting:

·        Monday 24 October

Imaging and Medical Beamline - FREE training in high resolution cardiovascular imaging (13-19 September 2016)

The Australian Synchrotron Imaging and Medical Beamline allows researchers to perform in vivo imaging of lungs, liver, kidneys, heart, brain and generally cardiovascular systems with a feature resolution down to 30µm.

From 13-19 September 2016 they offer training for interested scientists whose research would benefit from using the new tools on offer. This training is FREE. Participants  cover their travel costs and free accommodation is provided.

Participants will join a team of experts led by Prof James Pearson, Director of the Department of Cardiac Physiology of the National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Centre in Osaka. This team has 14 years of experience in small animal micro angiography. Participants  will perform arterial imaging and compare the suitability of 6 different anesthesia regimes for imaging blood flow in the brain, heart, lung, kidney and hind limbs. This will enable participants to become users of the Australian Synchrotron to advance their research in their ields of expertise.

For questions and registration, please contact daniel.hausermann@synchrotron.org.au.   Flyer with details HERE.
