30 March 2011 - Study Day - Birmingham - What Toddlers Eat Really Matters - For Health Professionals Only

THIS STUDY DAY IS FREE OF CHARGE AND OPEN TO HEALTH PROFESSIONALS ONLY

The toddler years are marked by continued growth and development; it is also the time when food preferences and habits are forming. Ensuring a toddler meets their relatively high nutritional needs and forms good eating behaviours is important both in the short and the long term. That’s why what toddlers’ eat really matters.

The Learning Curve is an educational initiative designed to offer current information on key topics.

The Learning Curve events are aimed at all Healthcare Professionals involved and interested in the best health outcomes for pregnant women, babies and children. All events will offer you up-to-date, evidence-based information delivered by key experts in their field, including FAB Research's Dr Alex Richardson.

Please register or log in at www.learningcurve.uk.net if you'd like to attend this event.  Once logged in, you should download, complete and post a booking form.  Although this event is free of charge, you must register to attend.
