Education in personalised nutrition for cancer care
NourishWell is an Erasmus+ project focused on strengthening education and skills in nutrition for cancer patients and survivors through interdisciplinary and practice-oriented learning.
About the project
NourishWell is an international project that brings together experts in clinical oncology, nutrition science, culinary arts, and vocational education to strengthen education on personalised nutrition for cancer patients and survivors.
Curriculum
The NourishWell curriculum is designed as a modular, blended learning programme, combining online education with practical, hands-on experience. It focuses on the development of both professional and transversal skills needed in oncology nutrition.
Why nutrition matters
in cancer care
Nutrition supports treatment tolerance and recovery.
Patients face complex nutrition-related challenges during and after treatment
Professionals often lack oncology-specific nutrition training
Practical culinary skills are essential for real-life application
NourishWell is co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme and represents a small-scale partnership in vocational education and training. The project promotes cross-sector and cross-country collaboration, knowledge exchange, and innovation in education, with the long-term goal of strengthening patient-centred cancer care through improved nutritional education.
