NUTRITION-FOCUSSED CONSULTATIONS IN PRIMARY CARE
Pedi R-MAPP is a validated,1,2 easy-to-use nutrition awareness tool that supports healthcare professionals (HCPs) in completing nutrition-focussed consultations.
Pedi R-MAPP supports healthcare professionals to complete a nutrition-focussed consultation. It aims to support the early identification of declining nutrition status, frequency of follow-up, and aid the implementation of appropriate nutrition care plans and onward referral to specialist services.
FOR USE BY ANY HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL AT ANY TIME, ON ANY PART OF THE PATIENT PATHWAY
Designed by HCPs for HCPs, Pedi R-MAPP is an innovative digital tool that has been designed for use during all clinical appointments, with every child, whether as part of a routine check-up or an ongoing consultation.
It supports every HCP to conduct nutrition-focussed consultations, even if they have little nutritional knowledge or training, including:

HCP TESTIMONIALS
GP, LINCOLNSHIRE
“I like the structured approach and I do like that it reminds people to look at all aspects of nutrition, including socio-economic for example.”
COMMUNITY DIETITIAN, BARNSLEY
“Sometimes in a clinical assessment, there are aspects that potentially wouldn’t get covered so I do think this app covers quite a lot of ground in the questions.”
