BAPEN Medical RUTH MCKEE Chair – BAPEN Medical
BAPEN medical teaching day will be held on Monday 28th November in Harrogate. We aim to spend the day ‘demystifying parenteral nutrition’ and the talks include the current recommendations on assessment of nutritional requirements, how to prescribe parenteral nutrition, dealing with complications and some case studies.

As one of ESPEN’s Life Long Learning (LLL) course topics is parenteral nutrition, we hope to incorporate a live LLL course into the day so that those collecting LLL credits can benefit. During the main BAPEN Conference, BAPEN medical is running three
symposia. In a symposium about coeliac disease we will debate whether we diagnose too few or too many patients with coeliac disease. ‘Food for thought’

will provide us with some unexpected data about malnutrition risk. The Nutrition Society are planning a look at the science behind sarcopaenia, while BAPEN medical’s symposium on the same topic covers management of sarcopaenia – can we make any difference?
Meanwhile, the deadline for abstracts for BAPEN and for the Powell-Tuck prize has passed – watch out for those who are awarded prizes at the meeting
Committee Group Updates
Programmes Committee PETE TURNER
Chair Programmes Committee It has been a very busy year for the programmes committee which is why there is only time to write a very brief report on our activities!
We have had to work on two conferences simultaneously – BAPEN 2011 and DDF 2012. This year’s exciting conference programme is more or less finalised and there is a detailed update in this edition of In Touch. The committee also been working with Mike Stroud on DDF 2012 and a draft programme for the event has already been developed. Topics for 2012
