To use this podcast as CPD, look at these reflection points:
1) Reflect upon your practice - do you routinely weigh patients and ask them about their nutritional intake?
2) Do you know what resources are available to help you to provide first line nutrition advice to your patients? Do you know how and when to refer to the dietitian?
3) Nutrition Impact symptoms can affect radiotherapy patients in many different ways - think about how the symptoms that affect your patients can affect their food intake and how you can help manage these.
