Systematic ONS from Admission: New RCT Evidence in Hospitalised Patients at Nutritional Risk
Oct 2026 ･ 20min watch
Hospital malnutrition continues to impact recovery, muscle function, and length of stay across acute care. In this webinar, Professor Emanuele Cereda will explore the benefits of high-energy, high-protein oral nutrition supplements (ONS) for hospitalised patients. Drawing on new evidence from a randomised controlled trial, he will examine the impact of ONS on energy and protein intake, body composition, and key clinical outcomes. The session will also consider the role of early initiation of ONS from admission. You’ll learn how to interpret and apply this evidence to optimise the timing and delivery of oral nutrition support, with practical strategies to strengthen care across hospital settings.
