About this Webinar

This 2-part webinar series builds on the Foundations of Formulation and Formulating in Practice webinars by exploring how a Dietitian, using a nutrition formulation lens can strengthen broader biopsychosocial formulations within multidisciplinary eating disorder care and enhance dietetic practice. This two-part webinar explores three key themes: Connection, Communication and Meaning. Participants will explore how using nutrition formulation can help connect nutrition assessment findings into a richer understanding of the individual, communicate nutrition-related clinical reasoning within multidisciplinary teams, and support meaningful nutrition interventions aligned with personal values, life-worth-living goals and individualised recovery priorities. Drawing on the 5 Ps framework, practical clinical tools and case examples, presenters will demonstrate how ongoing nutrition formulation literacy can strengthen the dietitian's contribution to the multidisciplinary formulation and treatment planning, while supporting purposeful, person-centred and recovery-oriented nutrition care.

Part 1: Nutrition Formulation in Practice

Participants will be introduced to a practical nutrition formulation framework that connects nutrition assessment, formulation and clinical reasoning. Using the 5 Ps framework and case examples, presenters will demonstrate how nutrition formulation can deepen understanding of presenting concerns, maintaining factors, strengths and opportunities for intervention while strengthening the dietitian's contribution to multidisciplinary care.
