BAPEN Conference


The Pennington Lecture – Christine Russell, Chair of BAPEN’s Nutrition Screening Week


Christine Russell delivered an eloquent and informative Pennington Lecture on the topic of ‘Nutritional Screening: from concepts to applications’. The subject matter was so pertinent as ‘MUST’ has played a pivotal role in enabling nutrition to become such a high priority in our NHS. Christine took us back to the King’s Fund


Report, ‘A positive Approach to Nutrition as Treatment’ (Leonard Jones et al, 1992), and the British Medical Journal McWhirter and Pennington (1994) paper to highlight the extent of malnutrition in hospitals and the lack of data prior to this time. Christine then took delegates on BAPEN’s journey as it developed and refined its approaches to screening, reminding us of the ‘BAPEN 4’ (questions) and the ‘MAG Tool’ before the launch of ‘MUST’ in 2003. Of particular importance, Christine pointed out the ‘U’ in ‘MUST’, reflecting the universal aspects of a tool suitable for ‘all settings’, ‘all patients’ and ‘all staff’. Christine then discussed the importance of addressing appetite and age, implementation and education before going on to provide an exciting update about recent developments relating to ‘MUST’ and an overview of the nutrition screening week data. Christine also reminded the audience that ‘MUST’ is not all about numbers, but as a tool informs, rather than replaces, clinical judgment. The 2011 Pennington Lecture concluded with a message that there is still a long way to go to embed ‘MUST’ fully and Christine thanked Professor Marinos Elia and other colleagues who have been a crucial part of this hugely successful work.
