KATE HALL Communications Officer – PEN Group
To all Parenteral Enteral Nutrition (PEN) Group* members – would you like a chance to showcase your success? Would you like to win £200 prize money to help fund attendance at a BAPEN/PENG study day or even purchase some equipment for clinical practice?
The PEN group of the BDA are looking for five dietitians who are members of the PEN Group* and who can demonstrate exemplary use of the PEN Group Pocket Guide to Clinical Nutrition. Applications for PEN Group Award 2011 are now open; deadline Friday June 17th 2011. To celebrate the popularity of the Pocket Guide to Clinical Nutrition and to coincide with the forthcoming updated sections (which will be launched at the PEN Group Summer Meeting in London, 1st August 2011) this year’s PEN Group Award, funded by Fresenius Kabi and Abbott Nutrition, focuses on submissions demonstrating use of the PENG Handbook ‘A Pocket Guide to Clinical Nutrition’ in practice. To be considered for an award we invite you to tell us about your best practice; show us how you use the PEN Group Pocket Guide to make a difference to your patients in your clinical and/or non-clinical or educational practice – however you have used it.
Simply write a short summary or case study, in the form of an abstract with title, authors, introduction/background, results, discussion, conclusion and references on one page of A4. Submit along with your contact details to Kate Hall email:
katehall001@gmail.com by Friday 17th June 2011. All applications will be judged according to set

PEN Group recognise how difficult it can be to obtain funding to attend study days or purchase equipment so remember, this year the award is split into five prizes of £200, allowing more dietitians to win and helping to support your attendance at a meeting of your choice or fund essential equipment in practice such as a hand-grip dynanometer! *If not a member of the PEN Group but would like to enter please go to the PEN Group website
