Course Overview
Individuals receiving care may need to eat a texture modified diet because they are generally unwell, through personal choice or because they have dysphagia (swallowing difficulties) – without compromising someone’s dignity or choice.
This training is suitable for chefs, catering teams, housekeepers, care home managers, carers, registered nurses or anyone who could be involved in the preparation, cooking and delivery of food to residents at risk.
Learners can expect to cover a range of theories, policies and procedures designed to give an introduction into modified foods. Units include:
• Define what a modified diet is.
• Describe the different levels of modified foods.
• Discuss how to make modified foods appetising and nutritious.
• Identify examples of safe food to modify.
• Explain safe hygiene when preparing modified foods.
There are no formal entry requirements for this course.
This qualification is delivered on an employer’s site for a group of their employees, not on campus for individuals to attend. Delivery dates are agreed in advance with the employer.
