Nutrition Advice 2004

Our Public Health Nutrition Advice was published quarterly, now twice yearly. Its main goals are to:

  • provide analysis and advice on current nutrition issues
  • provide useful tips for passing on to patients

The primary group that it is aimed for is practice nurses, but it will also be useful for general practitioners, teachers, Plunket and public health nurses, pharmacists and dental therapists. Feedback on the Newsletter, or requests for topics to be included is welcome.

The Nutrition Health Advice publications have been converted to Adobe Acrobat's Portable Document Format (pdf).
